Kickstarter Spotlight Image Dimensions
Kickstarter recommends a 16:9 Spotlight image and says the uploaded main image is resized to at most 700 pixels wide. A 700x394 canvas is the nearest whole-pixel 16:9 frame at that width. Spotlight is the customizable page for a successfully funded project. Use one strong Spotlight image and avoid edge text that may be clipped by responsive display.
Before You Upload to Kickstarter
Kickstarter also states an 800-pixel maximum resized height. A 700x394 16:9 image stays within both published display limits. This browser resizer creates a static JPG. Review the crop, text, and file size before uploading, and keep the original in case the platform applies another crop or compression pass.
