Wix is one of the most popular website builders, but uploading incorrectly sized images can slow your site, cause blurry displays, or create layout problems. Here is a complete guide to resizing images for Wix websites.
Recommended Wix Image Sizes
| Usage | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| Full-width section | 2560 px wide |
| Strip background | 1920 px wide |
| Product images | 2000×2000 px |
| Blog header | 1200×630 px |
| Gallery images | 1000 px on shortest side |
| Logo | 400×200 px (PNG) |
How Wix Handles Images
Wix automatically serves images at the size needed for each device and screen, using its own CDN. This means uploading larger images is better — Wix will optimise delivery. However, extremely large files (over 25MB) slow the upload process in the editor. Aim for images between 500KB and 5MB before uploading.
Resizing Images for Wix
Visit imgresizr.com and upload your image. For full-width background images, resize to 2560px wide. For product images, resize to 2000×2000px. For blog headers, resize to 1200×630px. Use the Compress tool to reduce file size before uploading — this speeds up the Wix editor while maintaining display quality. Export as JPG for photos and PNG for logos or transparent graphics.
Wix Image Optimisation Tips
- Always use WebP format where possible — Wix serves WebP automatically, but starting with a smaller source file still helps
- Use the Wix Image Library for stock photos — they are pre-optimised for the platform
- Avoid placing text directly on background images — use Wix text overlays instead for better readability
- Test your site on mobile — images that look great on desktop can be cropped strangely on phones
Wix's built-in image optimisation handles most tasks automatically, but uploading correctly sized images from the start gives you the best control over how your site looks and performs across all devices.
