If you have successfully managed to personalize or change your Fire tablet’s background, your next concern might be on how to resize Kindle Fire wallpaper.
Unlike computers and laptops that are flexible enough to alter the settings of the existing background, the Kindle tablets show your images as-is.
There should be no problem if the Kindle Fire wallpaper shall only be used in a single orientation. But because a lot of Fire tablet owners use rotating wallpaper apps that showcase your Kindle Fire background on switching portrait and landscape orientations, the resulting image when the tablet is tilted or rotated may not be that desirable. On the other hand, too small images could look pixilated or blurred when uploaded on your Fire tablet’s high resolution or high definition screen.
So, when you resize, what would be the ideal image size for your wallpaper? Kindle Fire experts suggest that you should use a minimum resolution of about 1024 x 1024 pixels. This is just the right size to produce clear and crisp wallpapers for your tablet. The actual size of the wallpapers used by Kindle is 602 x 1024 pixels. For the older Kindle versions, it’s only 515 x 880 pixels.
You might eventually think that the 1024 x 1024 pixel size might seem too large and at the same time, only a square image. But the extra width of the picture has a very practical purpose. It allows the image to adapt when the Kindle Fire wallpaper is rotated or switched from the portrait to the landscape view. The larger pixel size ensures that the image is not pixilated, wrongly stretch, or there are no blank spaces on the sides for the landscape orientation. If you resize Kindle Fire wallpaper to higher resolutions, it would be better.
Unfortunately, the Fire tablet has no built-in programs that could hasten the resizing of your preferred Kindle wallpaper. And since changing your Kindle Fire background could only be done through side loading, you must process the image first on your other devices like computers or laptops.
On the internet, there are several free and paid software or applications you could use to resize your preferred wallpaper. An example of which is Adobe Photoshop. Resizing your image with Photoshop is pretty simple. You just open the image and proceed to the “image” link located on the menu and click on image size. You might also need to use the cropping tool to capture only the image area you like.
On the other hand, if you are not using this paid software, you can just search for free image resizing programs on the internet. Although they have limited capabilities, they still perform that basic resizing function for your Kindle Fire wallpaper.
When resizing your Kindle wallpaper, you must take note that this is only ideal for images that have larger sizes than the ideal 1024 x 1024 pixels. In short, you are resizing the Kindle Fire background down. This is because if you try to do the other way, trying to enlarge a very small image like a 420 x 500 pixel into a 1024 x 1024 pixels for example, the quality of the resulting image will deteriorate.
