Adding photos to your fundraiser
Compelling images related to your cause can promote engagement from potential donors, which can lead to increased donations. You'll need to choose one photo or video to be the main image on your page, but you can add more to your story if you'd like.
When considering what images to choose, ask yourself a few questions:
- How does this image help tell my story?
- What feelings does this image evoke?
- What kind of image would inspire me to donate?
How to upload your cover photo
You'll choose your main image during your initial fundraiser setup, but you can edit that at any time by following these steps after signing into your account:
- Select “Edit" below your fundraiser title
- Select the “Change” button on your photo under "Cover media"
- Upload a photo or Add a YouTube video, and click "Save"
Keep these tips in mind for your cover image:
- Use JPEG, PNG, or BMP as the file type
- The file size should be smaller than 20 MB - The recommended main photo size is 720 x 405 pixels or higher
