Resize an Image for a Zoom Background
Get a crisp, professional Zoom background that fills the frame: the right 16:9 size stops it stretching or blurring.
A Zoom virtual background should be 1920×1080px, a 16:9 ratio that fills the video frame crisply (the minimum is 1280×720). Crop your image to 16:9 and resize to 1920×1080 so it isn't stretched or cropped on the call. Our Crop and Resize tools do it in your browser.
| Recommended size | 1920 × 1080 px (16:9) |
|---|---|
| Minimum | 1280 × 720 px |
| Aspect ratio | 16:9 (matches the video frame) |
| Format | JPG or PNG |

- 3
Compress and use it
Compress lightly so it loads quickly, then set it in Zoom's background settings.
- 16:9 at 1920×1080 matches the webcam frame, so the image isn't stretched or cropped.
- Choose an image that isn't too busy: a calm background keeps you the focus.
- Mirror any text in the image, since Zoom can flip your self-view.
