Step-by-Step guide on how to prepare an image for these dimensions:

Preparing an advertisement picture for a website with specific dimensions like 400 x 200 pixels (we recommend) is important to ensure it looks crisp and professional.

1. Choose the Right Software:
Use graphic design software such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP (a free alternative), or Canva to create and edit your image.

2. Set Up Your Canvas:
Open your chosen software and create a new project or canvas with the dimensions 400 x 200 pixels. Make sure the canvas is in SRGB color mode (standard for web images).

3. Design Your Advertisement:
Create or design the content of your advertisement within the canvas. Use high-quality images, text, and graphics that represent your message effectively.

4. Maintain Good Resolution:
To ensure your image looks sharp, use high-resolution images and graphics. Aim for a resolution of at least 300 dots per inch (DPI) when working on your design.

5. Use Web-Friendly Formats:
Save your image in a web-friendly format like JPEG or PNG. JPEG is suitable for photographs and images with many colors, while PNG is ideal for images with transparency or sharp edges.

6. Optimize File Size:
While maintaining quality, try to keep the file size reasonable to ensure fast website loading times. You can adjust the compression settings when saving the image. Aim for a file size of under 300KB for quick loading.

7. Add Text and Graphics:
If you're including text or logos, make sure they are clear and legible. Avoid using small fonts or intricate details that may be hard to see when the image is resized on the web.

8. Ensure Compatibility:
Test your image on various web browsers and devices (desktop, tablet, and mobile) to ensure it displays correctly and maintains its proportions.

9. Save Your Work:
Save your project in the native format of your design software (e.g., PSD for Photoshop or XCF for GIMP) in case you need to make changes later.

10. Export Your Final Image:
When you're satisfied with your design, export or save it as a JPEG or PNG file with the appropriate dimensions (400 x 200 pixels). Make sure to choose a descriptive filename.
