Start at 1920px wide
For a full width desktop hero, 1920px wide is a good starting point. It covers most layouts without the weight of a giant camera original.
Use the crop that matches the design
If the section is wide and short, export a wide image. Do not upload a tall photo and let the layout hide most of it.

Compress with care
Hero images are visible. Compress them, but do not crush them until gradients, faces, or product details look bad.
