# How to: Add a cover image

Your cover photo is the wide banner across the top of your portfolio. It’s one of the first things a client sees, so it’s worth making it count.

You can pick one of our ready-made covers, or upload your own image. We recommend uploading your own: a cover that shows your work or style helps your portfolio stand out.

### How to open the cover photo settings

1. Go to your portfolio while logged in.
2. Click your cover photo. The **Cover photo** window opens.

### Upload your own image (recommended)

1. In the **Cover photo** window, select the **Upload your own** tab.
2. Drop a photo into the box, or click **browse** to choose one. Use a JPG or PNG. Wide landscape images work best.
3. Click **Preview** to check how it looks.
4. Click **Upload photo**.

For the sharpest result, use an image at least 585 x 160 pixels. We recommend 1170 x 320 pixels.

| Ideas for your cover: a close-up of a recent project, a still from your showreel, or a texture or color palette you use in your work.
