Choose the cover photo

Updated 14 Oct 2026

On a phone, use the gallery’s Change cover control or Design → Cover for Quick cover photos and focal points. Cover Studio artwork is edited on a computer. Changing the gallery thumbnail does not replace a photo saved inside custom Studio artwork.

The cover is the first thing the couple sees, with their names over it.

Change the cover

  1. In the left panel, hover the cover image and click Change cover.
  2. Pick a photo from the gallery. Filter the picker to Landscape or Portrait to find frames that fit your cover layout.

The cover does not have to come from the gallery. Upload a cover in the same picker takes any image from your computer. That is also how a videos-only gallery gets a cover.

Change a Studio cover photo

In Cover Studio, click the photograph to choose another gallery photo or upload one. This replacement saves in your private Studio draft and appears for visitors only after Apply to gallery. The gallery thumbnail and Quick cover photo stay unchanged. To use the original photo again, select Cover photo in Layers and choose Use gallery cover photo in Properties.

See Cover Studio for layered designs, photo layouts and phone checks, and Match gallery & email for matching delivery colors.

Set the focal point

In the gallery’s Design tab, under Cover, click Set focal point and click the part of the photo that must stay in frame. The cover then crops around that point on every screen size. Without a focal point, a tall phone screen can crop the couple out of a wide photo.

Cover layouts and a cover video

The Design tab has eight cover layouts. See Change how a gallery looks. A video can play silently behind the names instead of a still. See Add videos to a gallery.
