Make a cover that survives the crop.

Use one generous vertical canvas, keep important information inside the safe area, and let the background do the work near the edges.

A short supporting line that remains readable in previews.

The dashed rectangle is where essential information belongs. The background can continue outside it.

The cover template

Put meaning in the middle. Put atmosphere at the edges.

MyFounders uses centered vertical previews in more than one proportion. A 2:3 source gives you room to compose, while the safe zone protects the content people must see when a preview becomes 4:5 or 3:4.

  • Use a 1024 × 1536 px vertical canvas.
  • Keep titles short and large enough to read on a phone.
  • Keep faces, logos, icons, and labels inside the marked safe area.
  • Let backgrounds and decorative textures extend to every edge.
  • Preview the cover at a small size before publishing.

This is a practical safe-area recommendation, not a promise that every future screen will crop identically. Always check the publishing preview before going live.

Why the extra margins matter

The original image is preserved, but preview containers use a centered crop. Keeping essential content central lets the same cover remain understandable at different sizes.

AI image template

Tell the image generator exactly where the safe area is.

Replace the two bracketed parts, then paste the complete prompt into your preferred AI image tool.

AI image tools can misspell text. For an exact title, generate the visual first and add the final wording in Canva or another design editor.

Vertical 2:3 creator cover, 1024 × 1536 px.

Keep every essential word, face, logo, icon, and label inside this safe area:
• 120 px from the left and right edges
• 130 px from the top
• 280 px from the bottom
• Safe coordinates: X 120–904 px and Y 130–1256 px

Leave simple background outside the safe area, especially in the bottom 280 px. Design for centered cropping in 4:5 and 3:4 previews. Nothing important near an edge. Decorative color, texture, and scenery may extend to the edge.
