Notion image sizes
Notion publishes one fixed recommendation and one deliberately flexible one. Uploaded page icons should ideally be 280×280 pixels. Cover images are dynamic, so Notion names no best aspect ratio and recommends only that the source be at least 1500 pixels wide.
The fixed 1500×600 cover canvas in this guide is therefore labelled as a working convention. It is designed to make authoring convenient without turning an adaptable interface into a fictional hard specification.

Page Cover1500×600px
Notion does not publish one fixed cover-image size because the banner changes with the browser width. It recommends an image at least 1500 pixels wide. This page uses a 1500×600 working canvas as an authoring convention, not a Notion requirement.
Notion's official answer is deliberately flexible: cover images are dynamic, so there is no single size or aspect ratio that works best. The only numeric recommendation is a source image at least 1500 pixels wide.

Best practices
- •Treat 1500 pixels as the official width floor, not 1500×600 as a platform requirement.
- •Keep the focal point near the middle and leave extra image area on every side.
- •Preview the cover at narrow and wide browser widths before relying on text placement.
Page Icon280×280px
Notion says uploaded page icons should ideally be 280×280 pixels. A square source works for page headers, the sidebar and other compact placements where the icon may appear much smaller.
A Notion page can use an emoji, a built-in icon or an uploaded image. For uploaded page and callout icons, Notion's current Help Center recommends 280×280 pixels.
Dimensions
280 × 280 px
Aspect ratio

Best practices
- •Export a square 280×280-pixel source.
- •Choose a simple silhouette and enough contrast to remain clear against the page background.
- •Preview at sidebar size to catch thin strokes and unreadable text.

What are the official Notion image sizes?
Notion recommends covers at least 1500 pixels wide but gives no fixed cover ratio. Uploaded page icons should ideally be 280×280 pixels.
Why do Notion cover-size guides disagree?
Notion's cover changes with the window width, so third-party guides choose different working ratios. Notion itself publishes only a 1500-pixel minimum width.
