Image Guidelines for Hibu One Smart Sites

These recommendations help images look clear and professional across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Recommended Image Sizes

Hero / Background Images

  • Width: 1980–2560 pixels
  • Best for large, full-width banners at the top of a page
  • Use wide (horizontal) images only


Content Images (Photos in the Page)

  • Width: 1200–1600 pixels
  • Works best for photos inside page sections and featured areas
  • Landscape (horizontal) images are recommended


Small Images / Thumbnails

  • Width: 150–300 pixels
  • Used for icons, small photos, or previews
  • Square images work best


Image Shape (Orientation & Cropping)

  • Banners / hero images: 16:9 (wide)
  • Logos and thumbnails: 1:1 (square)
  • General photos: 3:2 or 4:3 (landscape)

Image Quality

  • There is no DPI requirement for websites
  • What matters is pixel size, not DPI
  • Images should be large enough for where they appear on the page
  • Small images stretched large will look blurry

Best practice:  Provide images that are at least 2× the expected display size.

File Types

  • Use JPG (JPEG) or PNG
  • These are ideal for photos, logos, and graphics
  • Images are automatically resized for different devices
