What is the recommended background image size?

The background image for the Countdown Timer Bar can be in any format. However, we recommend using PNG or JPG, as these are the most common formats for web use.

Optimal Image Size Guidelines

To ensure the best display, follow these recommendations:

Use a single large image that automatically adjusts to fit the timer bar.
For optimal display, use an image with a height of 45-90px.
Width is flexible and will automatically adjust to fit the bar’s size.

Tip: Choose a simple background that complements your text without overpowering it.

How the Background Image Works

The background image will stretch to fit the width of the timer bar.
The height adjusts automatically based on the content (message length, font size, and padding).
You cannot manually set the bar height to match the background image.

Important: The background should be used for decoration only. Avoid placing key content (like text or logos) within the image itself.
