A unique, high-quality cover photo is an excellent way to showcase the professionalism your buyers can expect from your gigs. Gig covers clearly separate you from other sellers, and they can even be a key factor in a buyer’s decision.
But remember, quality is the key! That’s why our community editors and designers must approve cover photos before they go live.
To make your cover photos count:
- Use high resolution and the highest quality composition and color matching, with good lighting and sharp focus. Images must be JPEG at 1100 X 260 pixels and a maximum of 2MB.
- Make the image full frame side-to-side and top-to-bottom so there’s no solid color background.
- Use a photo that shows buyers something interesting about you or your gigs.
- Make sure you own the rights to the image you are posting
A few things you need to avoid:
- Don’t create a banner with icons and text.
- Don’t use stock photography. You must own the rights to your photos.
- Don’t use the same image as any of your gig photos.
- Don’t add text to your photo.
- Don’t use the same cover photo for more than one gig.
