Covers and screenshots

Page media is shown in several responsive crops. These dimensions are recommendations rather than upload requirements.

Cover

  • Recommended canvas: 1600 × 1000 pixels (16:10).
  • Keep the title, faces and essential action in the central square-safe area.
  • Discovery cards use 16:10; the game page uses 16:9; Manage games uses a square crop.
  • Do not put important text against an edge. Set the cover focal point in Manage games so every responsive crop follows the main subject.

Screenshots

  • Recommended canvas: 1920 × 1080 or 1280 × 720 pixels (16:9).
  • Use actual gameplay and keep UI readable at card size.
  • Provide concise alt text when uploading through the CLI or API.

Accepted files and limits

JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF are accepted; SVG is not. Each image may be at most 5 MB. A game may have eight page images and 25 MB total, with 250 MB across the creator account. Uploading another cover replaces the current cover; screenshots are added in order.
