Best Practices for Cover Photos

  • Prefer clear images with few elements and no overloaded text.

  • Avoid placing important elements too close to the edges.

  • Use high-resolution photos for a sharp display on all devices.

  • Respect copyright: if the image is not yours, click Attributions to properly credit the author.

Recommended format: landscape, minimum 1000 × 600 px. For optimal display, use images twice as large.

Best Practices for Cover Videos

  • Minimum resolution: 1080p (Full HD).

  • Landscape format, 16:9 ratio.

  • Avoid videos that are too long, vertical, or highly animated to prevent slowing down the site.

  • Choose videos that showcase your products or services in an immersive way.
