# How to get a static map of a specific dimension
<a name="get-static-map-specific-dimension"></a>

In this topic, you will learn how to set the dimensions (height and width) for static maps using Amazon Location Service. Customizing the dimensions of a map image allows you to balance performance, visual quality, and usability. The maximum values for both `width` and `height` are 1400 pixels, while the minimum values are 64 pixels. The maximum result size is 6 MB.

Additionally, you can use the `bbox` and `bounds` parameters along with `padding` to ensure that important map features near the edges are fully visible and not cut off.

## Get map image with specific height and width
<a name="get-map-specific-dimension"></a>

In this example, you will create a low-resolution and mid-resolution map image of Helsinki, Finland.

## Get map image with padding on all sides
<a name="get-map-with-padding"></a>

In this example, you will generate a map using several must-see places in Helsinki, Finland, with their coordinates (longitude, latitude), both with and without padding.
