The Movie Database Support

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of trying to find some suitable image sizes but I'm having difficulty. So far this is the sizes I'm using:

Backdrops:

  • "w533_and_h300_bestv2" for desktop
  • "w250_and_h141_bestv2" for mobile

Posters:

  • "w220_and_h330_bestv2" for desktop
  • "w94_and_h141_face" for mobile

The problem I'm having is trying to get the right sizes for the "posters" on mobile, is there a list of possible sizes for posters which have both the height and width specified ?

It would be great to get something like "w250_and_h141_bestv2" but for "posters", I've already tried this for mobile but you can't see all the content.

Any comments are appreciated

Thanks,

Alex M

This is not possible for posters, as the width of a poster is smaller that its height. Typicallyn the height is 1.5 x the width.

There are some undocumented measurements that are used in the TMDb WEB interface.
These may at any time be discontinued if there is a change in the layout of the website.
Perhaps some you are using are from this group.

The official list of sizes can be found here.
