What size should the cover be?

Any reasonably large photo works, up to 10MB. Check the preview on a phone, since that is where most guests see it.

Can I change it after guests start uploading?

Yes, at any time, and it does not affect uploaded photos.

Can I remove the cover entirely?

Yes. The welcome screen still shows your title, date, and message.

What else is on the welcome screen?

Your title, date, and welcome message. See [what you can customise](/help/before-your-event/all-customisation-options).

How do I change my gallery cover image?

Q: How do I change my gallery cover image?

Open Settings and choose Welcome Page, then upload a cover image. It accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF up to 10MB. The cover is the first thing guests see after scanning, so its real job is confirming they are in the right place before they upload.
