2023: Store Banner Is Blurry

[k8hayes]

My store banner is blurry. I'm using Chrome, also tried Firefox. I'm creating an 1140 x 315 image in Canva, inserting product mock-ups made by Zazzle. I've created lots and lots of banners over the years, and they've been fine. 

BTW, in Help it says the dimensions should be 2280 x 380. That can't be right.

Help.

The banner you have made is smaller than the suggested size - that's why it's blurry. - 1140 x 315 is smaller than 2280 x 380

Just redo it to the size that zazzle suggests

2280 x 380 is very long and thin. I can't see how that's right. Should it be 1205 x 380, by any chance? (I added 65 to 1140, because 65 was added to 315.)

2280x380

I normally make a huge one and then crop to fit

Anything lots bigger with the same aspect ratio? That makes sense. Thanks.

List of Image Sizes for Your Storefront 

Store banners are resized by Zazzle to 2048 x 565 and then are scaled to fit the viewing device .... The minimum allowed size is 1140 x 315.

Sounds like you're using the minimum size and it's getting scaled up.

I usually make mine in Illustrator, at 1140px x 315px (the minimum), and they work. I started using Canva because of its awesome background remover. Is there something different about Illustrator's dimensions?

ColsCreations, does that mean that the 2280x380 is scaled to 2048x565? I don't understand why Zazzle recommends the 2280 when it's forced cropped to a smaller size. I found 1380x380 to fit within the forced crop area and my banner works well at that size.
