Resize Image for Notion Page Covers
Notion page covers add visual personality to your workspace. At approximately 1500x600 pixels, cover images need to be wide and short. ImageGates resizes your photos and graphics to fit Notion's cover format perfectly — no cropping surprises.
Notion page cover and icon dimensions
A Notion cover is a wide banner cropped to roughly 1500×600 px, and the visible strip changes with the browser window width. The page icon is rendered small, at about 40 px inline and 78 px on the page.
Exact specifications:
- Recommended cover: 1500×600 px (2.5:1)
- Minimum useful width: 1200 px
- Page icon: 280×280 px, displayed at 40–78 px
- File size ceiling: 5 MB on the free plan
- Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG (icon)
What causes a rejected or degraded result:
- Uploading a tall photo and relying on Notion's reposition slider, which only pans vertically.
- Text in the cover: the page title overlays the lower-left of it.
- Uploading 4 MB covers to every page, which makes a large workspace slow to load on mobile.
Preparation order that avoids rework:
- Crop to 2.5:1 before uploading so repositioning is only a fine adjustment.
- Resize to 1500×600 px and compress to roughly 200 KB.
- Keep the lower-left clear for the title and icon.
Notion resizes covers responsively but does not re-crop, so a wide banner that looks right on a laptop is cropped to its centre on a phone. Uploading a file rather than linking an external image also keeps the cover working when the source URL expires.
