What size image, width x height, is best for a background logo on a form?
Has anyone discovered the right dimensions for an image to best fill a form background?
Is it conditional on form-factor?

Hello @Dale Murphy
For an image background, you can use a .png, .gif, or .jpg file up to 5MB in size. More information on this in the link here: Customize the appearance of a form | Smartsheet Learning Center
Additionally, I found this site online thats helpful with a breakdown on sizes that falls under 5 MB.

It has been difficult to get an useful answer for this issue.
To fit perfectly an image background on a side by side form, should the image be 600x400, 600x480, 600x500, 600x540, how many pixels x how many pixels???
I may spend hours to find it out by myself....

@seattlevigilante Thanks for the pointers.
But if you have ever inserted an image as the backdrop for a form, you may have seen that it appears to fill the entire space regardless of how big the image file is. I was hoping to understand how big that space is, so I could position the key part of an image (like a logo) immediately above the form text.
Of course, one can just place a logo on the form ... which is where I am today.
Cheers,

@Dale Murphy and @Marco Moura,
Did either of you ever figure out the specs for the ideal image size to place in a side by side form?
Seattlevigilante's responses were not helpful at all.

I have this issue. I don't understand why it's hard to get an answer on what is the size that you should make the image to avoid distortion.

I agree. I am looking for this as well. I am using the logo at the top- but not the best visual experience that I am looking for.

I'm having the same issue - why can't we save it as an SVG or something that scales with the page? Very silly feature, please improve!

I spent hours trying to figure this out as well. With the help of a coworker, this is the size of the image I am using and it seems to work well. However, the image will adjust to the user's screen size! I think that function is the biggest issue. It also helped to add a little bit of a boarder around the image.
