What size should my logo be?
There is no exact size. Upload at least 240 × 240 pixels, ideally 1000 pixels or more on the longest side, or an SVG file. Wide and square logos both work. Choose Fit logo to keep a wide wordmark in full.

Add your profile photo, logo and cover image
Upload the images that make your card recognizable, frame them, and choose which one your theme leads with.
Your card can show a profile photo, a brand logo and a cover image. Each one has its own slot in the editor, and a framing window lets you position it before anything goes live. Themes use different combinations of these images, so not every theme shows all three.
Use this guide when
You want to add or replace your photo, logo or header image, check what sizes and file types work, or fix an image that looks cropped, blurry or hard to see.
Before you start
- Open a card you can edit in the correct workspace.
- Have the image files ready on your device. A logo with a simple, high contrast design reads best at small sizes.
Steps
- Open Cards, choose a card, and open its editor.
- In Customizations, find Identity and media. It has three slots: Profile photo, Brand logo and Cover image.
- Choose Add image on a slot and select a file. A framing window opens with a preview of your image.
- Adjust the framing, then choose Apply framing. The slot shows your image and the phone preview updates.
- Use Identity emphasis if you want the theme to lead with you or with your brand.
- Choose Publish when you want visitors to see the new images.
New images stay in your private draft until you choose Publish. Removing an image that is already live also waits for Publish, so you can choose Undo removal if you change your mind.
Image sizes and file types
There is no single required size. Each slot has a minimum, an upload limit and a largest size it keeps. Very large images are scaled down for you before upload, so you do not need to resize them first.
- Profile photo: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB, at least 320 × 320 pixels. Shown as a square or circle. A square photo of 1000 pixels or more gives you room to zoom. Images larger than 1600 pixels are scaled down.
- Brand logo: JPG, PNG, WebP or SVG, up to 5 MB, at least 240 × 240 pixels. Any shape works, including wide wordmarks. Aim for at least 1000 pixels on the longest side, or use SVG so it stays sharp at every size. Images larger than 2400 pixels are scaled down.
- Cover image: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 8 MB, at least 768 × 402 pixels. Framed as a wide header, about twice as wide as it is tall. A landscape image at least 1600 pixels wide works well. Images larger than 3000 pixels are scaled down.
Frame your profile photo
The circle shows what will be visible. Drag the image to position your face, then use the Zoom slider or the plus and minus buttons for a closer crop. The rotate buttons turn the image in quarter turns, Center puts it back in the middle, and Reset all undoes every change.
Zoom stops at the sharpest safe crop, so the photo never looks blurry. If you cannot zoom in far enough, upload a larger photo.
Fit or crop your brand logo
Fit logo keeps your whole mark visible. Use it for wordmarks and wide logos. Logo size makes the mark smaller inside its frame, and once it is smaller you can move it with Horizontal position and Vertical position.
Crop logo lets you draw a closer crop, for example to use only the symbol from a larger logo. Use the handles on the crop box and the Zoom controls to choose the area.
The checkered area in the preview is transparent. If your logo file has a white or colored background, that background shows on the card as a box around the mark.
Choose the cover focus
Themes show the cover in different shapes, so you choose the focal area instead of one exact crop. Move the frame over the part of the image that matters most and zoom if needed. Themes keep that area in view.
Avoid text or important details near the edges of a cover image, because some layouts show less of it on a phone.
Each theme uses a different mix of images
Your card keeps all three images, but each theme decides which ones it shows and where. Switching themes can change which images visitors see, so check the preview after choosing a new theme.
- Photo, logo badge and cover: The original themes, such as New York, Chicago and Washington, show your profile photo, a small brand logo badge and a cover image across the top.
- One main image and a cover: Some themes use a cover image together with one main image, either as a header strip or as a large photo area.
- One main image only: Many themes show either your profile photo or your brand logo, not both, and do not use a cover image.
Choose which image leads
When a theme shows one main image, Identity emphasis chooses which: Theme recommendation, Lead with me or Lead with my brand. If the image you choose is missing, the theme uses the other one.
A slot marked Not used here or Saved for later keeps your image, but the current theme does not show it. It appears again if you switch to a theme that uses it, so there is no need to upload it twice.
Logos are often shown small. A square or compact version of your mark stays readable in a small badge, while a long wordmark can become hard to read.
Transparent or solid background
A logo with a transparent background blends into the theme, but the theme colors show through it. A dark logo on a dark theme, or a light logo on a light theme, can almost disappear.
After you apply the framing, check the phone preview. If your logo is hard to see, upload a version with a solid background or a version in a contrasting color.
Cards with an Original logo
Cards created before these slots existed may show an Original logo above them. It is used until you add a profile photo or brand logo. To stop using it, add your images in the new slots, or tick its remove box and publish.
Good ways to use this
- Use a clear, well lit square photo where your face fills most of the frame.
- Keep an SVG or large PNG of your logo, plus a square version for small badges.
- Check the phone preview after every change, then publish once everything looks right.
Common questions
Why can I not zoom in further?
Zoom stops at the sharpest safe crop for your image, so your card never shows a blurry photo. Upload a larger image to get more room.
Do I need to resize large photos first?
No. Images larger than the slot keeps are scaled down for you. Files must still be under the upload limit, 5 MB for photos and logos and 8 MB for covers.
Why does my cover image not show after changing themes?
Many themes do not use a cover image, and some show only your photo or only your logo. Your images are kept, so switching back to a theme that uses them shows them again.
If something looks wrong
- If you see a message that the image must be at least a certain size, choose a larger image for that slot.
- If a file is rejected for size, export it again as a JPG or WebP, or reduce its dimensions.
- If the framing window says the preview expired, choose the image again.
- If an image does not appear on the card, check Identity emphasis and whether the slot says Not used here for this theme.
- If visitors still see the old image, choose Publish. Saved changes stay in your draft until then.
