What makes a good hero image?

The most obvious choice for a hero image might be a visual that depicts a product or service offered. But thinking outside the box can also make for a more intriguing design — and if the brand behind your website doesn't sell something tangible, you'll need to get more creative with your image choice.

Should every page have a hero image?

Hero images are an essential element of any website. They capture the attention of your customers and help drive customer conversion. Your hero image should always convey your brand value and messaging in a straightforward way.

What is the use of a hero image in a value proposition?

A hero image can also direct users towards a desired link or call-to-action, or present your business' value proposition at the top of the webpage. Hero images on media sites and blogs can also be used to catch the visitors' attention, and draw them into reading the article on the page.

What size should my hero image be?

The ideal size for a full-screen hero image is 1,200 pixels wide with a 16:9 aspect ratio. For a banner hero image, the ideal size is 1600 x 500 pixels. If you need crystal-clear images, or your target audience browses on large screens, you may have to size up to 1,800 pixels.
