Hi there,
Here’s a bit confusing about the size of the Fiverr gig image. I've tried different sizes for gig images, but I can't be satisfied with any of them. I tried to find it here in the Fiverr forum, but most people suggest the recommended size of Fiverr.
I also tried Fiverr's recommended size. They represented two different sizes for gig images in two different places.
In the “Gig Gallery” section recommended dimensions of the Fiverr gig image are at least 550 pixels width x 370 pixels height. (Screenshot added)
In the “Gig Images: Do's and Don'ts” article, the recommended image size is at least 690 x 426px. (Screenshot added)
Both sizes are okay, but I noticed they are not the exact size at all because they leave some space on the left and right. However, Fiverr nowhere says that it is the actual size, they always say “at least”. Thus, they are safe. But we need to find out the right size.
For my last gig, I researched Fiverr gig image size and discovered the exact size. Now, I'm gonna share the exact size with you.
Gig image size Solution:
First things first, I wanna say thanks to my “Graphic Design” profession because it helps me determine the right solution. Otherwise, it was impossible for me. Now, let’s go for the solution.
I calculate the desktop resolution & after analysis; I discover the gig image’s exact size is 712 x 427 pixels. Hang on, that's not at all. We need to set a margin & safe zone to make it responsive for all devices. I noticed that mobile devices crop up a lot of space from left and right. So, I organized a margin & safe zone for it. Now I am sharing everything that I am doing.
We know the gig image’s exact size is 712 x 427 pixels.
For a better resolution, I doubled it. So, after making twice our artboard size is now 1424 x 854 pixels.
I made a margin of 152 x 27 pixels. So, we have 1120 x 800 pixels without margin. We shouldn’t put anything outside of the margin; otherwise, the mobile device will crop your content from left & right.
Next, we have to set a safe zone for design. It is enough to leave 20 pixels from every side for the safe zone. So, our final design area is now 1080 x 760 pixels. That’s all.
Is it complicated to understand? Don't worry, I have already made a template for it & I will add it here for you. Hope it will assist you. Don’t forget to share your opinion & experience after applying this.
Thanks & regards,
