User need

I want to choose or update the cover image for my event.

The cover image sets expectations

Attendees often judge an event page quickly. A clear cover image can make the event feel real, specific, and easy to understand.

The image should support the page, not replace it. Date, location, price, capacity, and preparation notes should remain readable as page text.

Go to your dashboard, open the event, and find the cover or visual settings area.

Use a suggested image, upload your own, keep an original poster, or use an AI-generated visual.

Preview the event page on desktop and mobile. Make sure important faces, objects, and visual context are not awkwardly cropped.

Use images you own, images created for your event, licensed images, or images you have permission to use.

Save the event, open the public page or preview, and confirm that the image supports the event without obscuring key information.

Image matches the event category and tone.

Image does not misrepresent the venue, audience, or activity.

Mobile crop looks acceptable.

Important event details are not trapped only inside the image.

Image rights are clear.

The public page still loads and reads well without zooming.

Do not use a luxury venue, large crowd, celebrity, or professional outcome image if the event will not provide that experience.

Can I use a poster as the cover image?

Yes, but do not rely on the poster for all important details. Add the details as event page text too.

What if my image looks cropped on mobile?

Choose a less busy image, adjust the aspect ratio, or keep important subject matter near the center.

Can I change the cover after publishing?

Yes. After updating it, check the public page and any social preview where you plan to share the link.

Before publishing, edit the draft like an attendee will read it: promise first, logistics second, registration last.

Poster extraction can save time, but the host should still verify text, dates, location, and registration settings.

A published page is not finished until you check the attendee view and confirm the registration path works.
