Forms theme Image size

Any idea what size works best if trying to use an uploaded image for a theme in forms? I have tried various sizes and they all look pretty bad. I wish there was a way to move the image to what part I wanted to show as well.

    Natalie Swallow I believe I found a solution! Use the teams background generator in canva. Start with a blank page and you can upload any image you want. Download the page and upload it to your form. It worked for me and gave a clean solution without a pixelated image.

    Any chance that Microsoft will be fixing the issue with the header image sizing?

    Natalie Swallow  the header/title image is not working. it doesn't allow you to expand image so that it fits the whole layout. The solution is to insert the image inside the first section of your form then leave the header/title section blank. See my screenshot.

      Bareng I didn't find this option. So that can change the header image. That just allows me to insert the logo. Could help me?

        Hi 

        Does anyone know what size the image that goes in the title of a form needs to be? Upload as PNG or JPEG? DPI? I have tried a lot of sizes and they all end up being fuzzy. Thanks 

  • Hello Natalie,

    kind regards

        Hi Natalie Swallow,

         

        I just tried this out and the image stretches with the size of you browser. So you would have to be able to predict your browser size. This of course isn't very good.

      It seems the larger the better, a 3543x1511 works pretty well, but I will test shrinking it a little.

        Thanks for suggesting that size. I was having trouble with fuzzy images and using the size you suggested looks much better. Wish there were more pre-built themes available for Forms.
