Uploading a cover photo is a great way to brand your profile and bring it to life. The cover photo area has been designed to stretch to fit all devices and will crop and align to the middle of the photo. See our member profile as an example.

For best results:

• Choose an abstract photo or a photo with the centre of focus in the middle
• Upload a .jpeg image 1800px (width) by 1000px (height)
• Avoid using images with text as this will be unlikely to display well on all devices
