Cover and profile images

Your profile and cover images are the first thing customers notice. A well-chosen visual creates a strong first impression, communicates professionalism, and helps people instantly recognize your venue. Let’s walk through how to set them up for the best results.

🖼 Upload a Great Cover Image

Your cover image is the largest element of your profile and sets the tone for your brand.

Aspect ratio: Always use 16:9 for the best display.
Resolution: We recommend 2560 × 1440 px for sharpness on all devices.
Empty space: Leave 15–20% padding on the left and right sides of the image. This prevents important details from being cropped on different screens.
Top & bottom padding: Keep about 20–25% of the height free from critical elements.
What works well: Wide shots of your venue exterior, atmosphere photos, or clean, inviting visuals that reflect your brand.

💡 Pro tip: Avoid placing text or logos near the edges. They may not be visible on smaller screens.

🪪 Add a Clear Profile Image

Your profile image is shown in lists, maps, and search results. We recommend using a photo that is instantly recognizable.

Format: Square (1:1 ratio).
Content: Use your venue’s logo or a clean, centered photo of your space.
Resolution: Choose a high-quality image so it doesn’t appear blurry.

💡 If you don’t have a logo yet, consider using a simple, clean shot including your sport.

🎯 Place Your Logo in the Safe Zone

When using your cover image with a logo overlay:

Keep your logo centered within the safe zone.
The safe zone is the middle rectangle of your image
- This ensures visibility across both desktop and mobile.
Check that your logo is high resolution so it looks crisp.
Make sure there’s enough contrast between the logo and the background for easy readability.

For example:

Thril Running Club

🔍 Preview Before Saving

After uploading, always use the preview tool:

Check how your images look on consumer pages on desktop and mobile.
Verify that your logo is visible and easily readable.
Adjust brightness, contrast, or cropping if needed.
