Blog Banner Maker

Build a wide 1600×400 header banner for your blog's homepage or category pages.

Format

At a 4:1 width-to-height ratio, this banner is meant to sit above the fold as a header image, not compete with the actual post content below it.

  1. 1

    Keep the design simple rather than detail-heavy — a busy banner tends to distract from the headline it's supposed to be supporting rather than reinforcing it.

  2. 2

    Center any key text rather than pushing it to the far edges — most blog themes scale this banner responsively for mobile, and edge content is what gets cropped first.

  3. 3

    Check it on an actual mobile view of the theme once uploaded — the responsive scaling behavior varies enough between themes that a desktop-only check can miss a crop issue.
