Frequently asked questions

How much of the cover shows on a phone?
Considerably less than on desktop: the sides are cropped while the visible strip is taller. Keep roughly the middle third of the width free of essential elements and the image works on both.
Where does the profile picture cover the image?
Lower left on desktop, centred above the lower edge on mobile. Treat that region as dead space and place the logo or claim in the upper half.
Which file format and file size?
myfeedr delivers 820×312 as PNG (lossless) and JPG. For trafficking, the JPG is what counts: around 120 KB is a realistic target for this size – small enough for any network without visible quality loss.
What does the format cost?
Formats are not sold individually — :size is part of the "Display + Social" package from 299 €. Analysing your website is free.
