Nook GlowLight 4e Screensaver Size: 758 × 1024 px
The Nook GlowLight 4e screensaver and wallpaper size is 758 × 1024 pixels. That is a 6-inch e-ink panel with a 1:1.35 aspect ratio at 212 ppi. Export at exactly those dimensions and the image fills the screen with no stretching, cropping or black bars.
Despite the name, the 4e is not a 4. Barnes & Noble cut the screen to 758 x 1024 at 212 ppi to hit a lower price, so it shares a panel with the Kobo Nia rather than with the GlowLight 4. At this density fine detail and small text look soft — favour bold shapes and strong contrast.
Use the resizer below to crop any photo or artwork to those exact dimensions — it opens with the Nook GlowLight 4e already selected, runs entirely in your browser, and never uploads your image anywhere.
Easy to mix up: the Nook GlowLight 4 uses 1072 × 1448 px, not 758 × 1024 px. Sizing for the wrong one is the most common mistake with these two models.

Choosing an Image for the Nook GlowLight 4e
Getting the pixel dimensions right is only half of it. This panel has its own characteristics, and they change what kind of source image holds up on screen.
- At 212 ppi this is a comparatively low-density panel. Intricate detail and small text will look soft, so bold shapes, heavy line weights and strong tonal separation give much better results.
- The 1:1.35 ratio is close to a standard portrait photograph, so most vertical photos crop to fit with little loss. Landscape source images will lose a lot of their width — crop deliberately rather than letting the frame decide.
- E-ink is greyscale, so colour contrast disappears on screen. Check that your image still separates into clear light and dark areas once colour is removed — two colours of similar brightness will merge into one flat tone.

Nook GlowLight 4e Screensaver FAQ
- What size should a Nook GlowLight 4e screensaver be?
- A Nook GlowLight 4e screensaver should be 758 x 1024 pixels — the device's exact panel resolution. That is a 6-inch screen with a 1:1.35 aspect ratio at 212 ppi. Matching these dimensions means the image fills the screen with no stretching, cropping or black bars.
- What format should the image be in?
- PNG or JPG both work on the Nook GlowLight 4e. PNG keeps sharp edges cleaner on text and line art, which suits e-ink. Because the screen is greyscale, high-contrast images with simple composition reproduce far better than busy colour photographs.
- Does the Nook GlowLight 4e support custom screensavers?
- 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.
- Can I use the same image on other e-readers?
- Yes. 1 other supported e-reader uses the same 758 x 1024 panel as the Nook GlowLight 4e: Kobo Nia. One correctly sized image works on all of them without re-cropping.
