FAQ
- What size is a Kobo Clara screensaver?
- 1072×1448 pixels for Clara HD, 2E, BW, and Colour. Use portrait JPEG or PNG at that exact size so the firmware does not stretch the image.
- Is Clara Colour the same resolution as Clara BW?
- Yes. Colour and BW share 1072×1448. On Colour, slightly higher saturation looks better through the Kaleido 3 filter; BW looks best with extra contrast.
- Why is my Clara screensaver not showing?
- The folder must be named screensaver inside .kobo, both energy-saving toggles must be on, and a book must be open. The home screen ignores the folder.
