Create a Notion page cover →Design tips
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.
- •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.
What you need to know
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.
The 1500×600 canvas shown here gives designers a practical wide starting point while satisfying that width recommendation. The 600-pixel height and 2.5:1 ratio come from this page's authoring convention; Notion does not prescribe them.
Because window width and page layout change the crop, keep the subject near the center and allow expendable image area around it. A cover that depends on edge-aligned text will not remain stable across desktop widths.
How to create a Notion page cover at the right size
- 1Open Moda and create a 1500×600-pixel working canvas.
- 2Keep the focal point centered with expendable space around it for Notion's responsive crop.
- 3Export the image in a format accepted by Notion and preview it at narrow and wide browser widths.
Frequently asked questions
What size should a Notion cover be?
Notion says there is no single best size because covers are dynamic, but recommends using an image at least 1500 pixels wide. This guide's 1500×600 canvas is a practical convention.
Is 1500×600 an official Notion requirement?
No. Only the 1500-pixel minimum width is official. The 600-pixel height is an authoring choice for a useful wide canvas.
