In depth
Screen delivery is a balance between quality and file weight: too small and the image looks soft on a high-density display, too large and pages load slowly and full-resolution files circulate freely. Around 2,048 pixels on the long edge at quality 80 suits most portfolio use without giving away a printable file.
Examples in practice
A portfolio exports at 2,048 px on the long edge — sharp on any screen, useless for printing at size.
