Cover image guidelines & best practices

Cover images help your post stand out across Paragraph, Farcaster, and beyond. Follow these guidelines to ensure your images display correctly and look great everywhere.
  • Ideal aspect ratio: 2:1
  • Recommended size: 2000 × 1000 px
  • Minimum size: 844 × 422 px
Images smaller than 844 × 422 px may appear pixelated or blurry on larger screens.

​
Cropping and display

Paragraph enforces a consistent 2:1 crop across the platform. The image is centered automatically and adapts slightly between desktop and mobile views. To ensure important details aren’t cut off:
  • Keep key elements (faces, text, focal points) within the center 60–70% of the image.
  • Avoid placing text or critical details near the top or bottom edges.
  • Test your image on both desktop and mobile if possible.

​
File Format

  • Use high-quality PNG or JPEG files.
  • Avoid transparent backgrounds.
  • Keep file sizes under 5 MB for best performance.

​
Design Tips

  • Choose simple, high-contrast visuals that work in both light and dark modes.
  • If including text, place it near the lower third of the image with generous margins.
  • Avoid overly detailed or busy imagery that doesn’t scale well to small previews.
