Optimize chapter and event thumbnails for social sharing

  • Updated
This article gives guidance on optimizing your chapter and event thumbnails for sharing on social media. It also outlines how to upload these images.

Prepare your images

Chapter and event thumbnails are used when sharing events and chapters on social media.

  • Thumbnail image sizes are 1080 x 1080 px.
  • Ensure the main content you want to display is within a height of 560px. 

As guidance, here's an example using the Bevy logo. The left image has the logo well proportioned within the square but it needs to be a little smaller (height 560px) so it doesn’t look cut on Facebook and Linkedin.

Customize a thumbnail per event

If you need to customize the thumbnail for an event, you can do so during event creation or by editing an event. Both options appear in the General Information tab of the event creation flow.
