You will see the suggested size is 1400×1400-pixel in JPG format. Our template is over 200% bigger. The higher resolution is very very important for the Retina displays. You can definitely start with a 1400×1400-pixel sized PSD but, considering a 27″ Retina display, the smallest pixelated areas can make it looking unprofessional.
