How to Choose the Right Cover Image for Your leafplanner Account

Recommended Image Size

Optimal dimensions: 1200 x 350 pixels
Accepted formats: PNG or JPG
Maximum file size: 5 MB

Why the Recommended Size Matters

Using an image that matches the 1200 x 350 pixel ratio ensures your cover displays exactly as intended—without distortion, stretching, or unexpected cropping. It helps your profile look polished and aligned with the clean, intentional design of the platform.

If your image does not match this aspect ratio:

A gray background will automatically fill the unused space, which may affect the visual appeal.
You may have to adjust the visible portion using the cropping tool, which can sometimes lead to parts of the image being cut off.

Uploading Your Image

You have two simple options:

Upload directly from your device
Drag and drop the image into the designated area

Once uploaded, you’ll be able to adjust the crop to select the area of the image you want to display. This gives you some flexibility, but starting with the correct dimensions will always provide the best results.

Tips for Best Results

Choose a high-quality image that is already sized to 1200 x 350.
Avoid uploading images with text near the edges, as it may get cut off during cropping.
Preview your final selection to ensure it reflects your family’s identity well.

Following these guidelines will ensure your leafplanner cover image looks thoughtful, professional, and visually consistent across all devices.

Anchor Positioning Options
