Replace Cover Photo on your Chapter/Network Web Page

Tip: Images should be...

  • Under 100MB
  • .png, .gif, .jpg, or .jpeg format
  • High resolution and not dependent on legible text. Since the cover photo is large, horizontal, and will have type overlaying it, images that are wide (at least 1200 pixels wide ideally) and where type is not a crucial element are recommended.
  1. From your chapter’s main page click Edit on the orange bar at the top.
  2. Under “Chapter Featured Image” click Remove.
  3. Click Chapter Featured Image to reveal the Select Image button, then click it.
  4. Click Choose File and locate the image you’d like to upload from your computer’s drive.

  6. Once the name of your file appears, click Select Image to upload the image to our server. A small version of the image will appear.
  7. To preview how the image will be displayed, click the Edit button, then Preview. The “9x4” crops show how the photo will display. You can shift the photo up or down in the next step. Close this window/tab.
  8. To change how the image is cropped, adjust the small white crosshairs up and down and click Preview to view the results.
  9. Enter a simple description of the image in “Alternative Text.” This text is useful for those who are visually impaired and may be displayed if an image is unable to load.
  10. Click Save at the bottom of the dialog.
  11. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save to return to your chapter main page.
