They say “The first impression is the last impression”. When your respondent views your form, what is the first thing that grabs his/her attention? Definitely, the header image isn’t it? Also, you can convey the full potential of your brand through the header image of the form. Therefore, you can’t compromise on its quality or size. But, unfortunately, if you are using Google Forms, you can’t upload the full image as a header.
Google Forms is a free awesome tool but it requires you to prune the header image. Therefore, I would like to suggest Pabbly Form Builder which allows users to upload full image as a header without any restriction.
This is because the Google Forms puts a ceiling on the header image at 559×140 pixels. Any picture beyond this window has to be cropped. Another irritant is, these undersized header images of Google Forms looks blurry when viewed on a large device like desktops.
Add Full Header Image Without Cropping. What Are My Options?
Let’s say that you want to upload 1600×1600 pixels photo as a header. But, we both know that it is a sizeable photo, so only a few form builders can do this job. Here, I am highlighting one such marvelous form creator i.e. Pabbly Form Builder that lets you upload such gigantic banner as a header image with ease.
- The size of the image doesn’t matter as without cropping you can upload the image into the header.
- In contrast to Google Forms, there are more customization options available in Pabbly Form Builder like changing the background colors, resizing the image dimensions and many more.

- Furthermore, you can even embed a link into the header image.
- Pabbly Form Builder doesn’t restrict you on any feature like unlimited storage, uploads, and multi integrations through Webhooks.
