I am making a custom GUI, how large should the images be?

Every time I import an image into the GUI editor, it scales it weirdly. Even from the Minecraft files it isn't the right size.

Help would be appreciated :D

If you look to the right of the GUI editor, it says how big the GUI is (in pixels). I think that if you use pictures that are around that size should be good.

I make custom GUIs all the time. My approach is to let MCreator generate the GUI initially. Make a backup folder for your GUI you're going to modify as it'll get overwritten any time you make a change to it (slots, text, buttons etc..) in MCreator. Open the GUI in the workspace folder with your graphics program (ex: GIMP) and make your changes. Save over the file in the workspace folder and then save a copy of it in your backup folder. I find this removes the work of making a GUI just the right size and having scale issues.
