How to change your cover image

You can update the cover photo on your creator page anytime you're logged into Patreon.

• To help your cover photo display well across devices, we recommend placing key visuals toward the right half of the photo and avoiding text when possible.

  Since your page title and about section appear on the left, this layout ensures your most important elements stay visible no matter where fans view your page.

  To change your cover image, follow the steps below:

  1. If you aren’t already there, click the Dashboard link from the left sidebar navigation
  2. You’ll land on the Home tab and then click on the Edit Page button
  3. Your page editor will open, select Details
  4. Scroll down to Header options — you can Use profile photo as a header or Upload cover photo
  5. Select Upload cover photo and click on Add an image to upload a new image
  6. Choose an image from your device — we recommend that your image be at least 2500 x 1000 pixels, and the supported formats are JPEG or PNG
     • You can also define a Theme color for your page by adding the hexadecimal code or clicking in the colored square
  7. Once uploaded, you’ll be able to crop the image if you want to. To adjust the size, move the dots around the desired area. When you’re done, click Save and your new cover image will appear in the preview
  8. If you’re satisfied with the result, click on the Publish button on the top-right corner of the page

  

  Please note that when you remove your current cover image, you must replace it with another image in order to save your page changes.

  I published the new page, but my cover photo disappeared from my creator dashboard. What happened?

  Your cover photo is still there for all your fans and members, it just no longer appears in your creator dashboard. We removed it from the dashboard view to give you more space to work and easier access to the tools you need.

  You can preview how your public page looks with your cover photo anytime by going to the Dashboard, then in the Home tab, clicking in the “...” icon beside the Edit page button, and selecting View page. As an alternative, you can go directly to patreon.com/customize or open your page in an incognito tab to see it exactly as visitors do.

  What dimensions should my cover photo be?

  In its maximum view, the cover photo will be displayed at 2500 x 1000 pixels. We recommend using a wide image that’s at least the suggested size. Although smaller sizes will still work, they may appear to be slightly pixelated.

  How large can my image files be?

  Your upload file sizes must be 3 MB or less per image.

  Why isn’t my new cover photo showing up in the Patreon app?

  Right now, the Patreon app features your profile photo as the main image, which is separate from your cover image. If you’d like to update your profile photo, you can do that anytime within Edit Page.

• To change your cover image, follow the steps below:

  1. If you aren’t already there, click the My page link from the left sidebar navigation
  2. Click on the Page controls or “...” button, and select Edit Page from the submenu
  3. You’ll land on the Basics section of your page editor, scroll down and click on your current cover image to upload a new image
  4. Select your image from your device — we recommend that your image be 1600 x 400 pixels
  5. Once uploaded, your new cover image will automatically save. When you revisit your creator page, you'll find your new image.

  When you remove your current cover image, you must replace it with another image in order to save your page changes.
