1072 × 1448 Screensaver Size
1072 × 1448 pixels is the panel resolution shared by 6 e-readers from Amazon, Rakuten Kobo and Barnes & Noble. Because pixel dimensions are the only thing that determines fit, one image exported at exactly 1072 x 1448 fills the screen on every device listed below — no re-cropping, no black bars.
This is the workhorse 6-inch e-ink panel, and the most widely reused resolution in the category. Amazon, Kobo and Barnes & Noble all build on it, which makes a single 1072 × 1448 image the most portable screensaver file you can make — it covers more devices than any other size here, including one colour model.
To crop a photo to this size, open the resizer and pick any device in the list below — or choose Custom Device and enter 1072 x 1448 directly. It runs in your browser and never uploads your image.

One Image, 3 Ways to Install It
The image file is identical across this group, but each platform accepts it differently. These are the methods the devices above use.
Kindle (11th Gen), Kindle Paperwhite (10th Gen)
Kindle has no official custom screensaver setting. The standard non-jailbreak workaround is to turn your image into an EPUB whose cover is that image, send it to the device, and let the lock screen show the current book's cover. The cover setting is hidden entirely on ad-supported Kindles, so ads have to be removed from the device first.
Kobo Clara BW, Kobo Clara 2E / Clara HD, Kobo Clara Colour
Kobo reads sleep-screen images from a folder you create yourself. Put your resized images in a folder named exactly `screensaver` inside the hidden `.kobo` folder, then enable the two sleep-screen settings.
Nook GlowLight 4
Nook GlowLight models include a screensaver setting in the device's own settings menu. Copy your resized images into the screensaver folder over USB, then pick that folder in settings.
1072 x 1448 Screensaver FAQ
- Which e-readers use a 1072 x 1448 screensaver?
- 6 e-readers use a 1072 x 1448 pixel panel: Kindle (11th Gen), Kindle Paperwhite (10th Gen), Kobo Clara BW, Kobo Clara 2E / Clara HD, Kobo Clara Colour, Nook GlowLight 4. They come from 3 manufacturers — Amazon, Rakuten Kobo and Barnes & Noble — because e-reader makers buy panels from the same suppliers. One image exported at 1072 x 1448 fills the screen on every one of them.
- Can I use one 1072 x 1448 image on all of these devices?
- Yes. Pixel dimensions are all that determine whether an image fits, and these 6 models are identical in that respect. The file itself needs no changes. What differs is how you get it onto each device — these models span 3 different setup methods.
- Do all 1072 x 1448 e-readers look the same?
- Close to it, for sizing purposes. Every model in this group is 6-inch at 300 ppi, so the same file renders at the same physical size and the same sharpness on all of them. Frontlight tone and panel generation still vary between models, but nothing that changes how you should crop or export.
- Does the colour model need a different size?
- No. Kobo Clara Colour uses the same 1072 x 1448 panel as the greyscale models in this group, so the dimensions are unchanged. The colour filter sits over the same pixel grid: greyscale still renders at the full density, colour at roughly half it, which favours flat areas of colour over fine coloured detail.
