A cover image is a new image asset that we're requiring in order to be featured on a new version of our app homepage.
Think about this like your publication’s album cover or like a digital bookcover. It’s not going to tell the entire story of your publication, but it should give more of a sense about what your publication is about than a simple logo or avatar might.
Image file requirements for your cover
- Dimensions: 3000 x 3000 px
- 4MB max file size
- A .JPEG or .PNG file
Design requirements
- Include your publication's full name or logo
- Ensure important information fits within and fills safe area of 2400 x 2400 px
- Extend background fills or images to the edge of the area
- Do not create artificial bounding shapes for your cover
- Ensure any text included is large enough to be readable at small sizes
- Do not include the Medium logo in your cover image
Design recommendations
- We recommend against using white as your background color
- Cover images allow space for some additional context, but be mindful of adding too much
- Keep the emphasis on your publication logo or name
- Keep it clear. Add context and information, but don’t add complexity
