What Notion users make with this tool
Personal dashboards
Your Notion homepage is the first thing you see every day. A clean, minimal cover sets the tone for the whole workspace — a soft gradient, a calming photo, or a quote you want to see every morning.
Freelancer & client workspaces
If you send clients a Notion portal, a branded cover makes it feel professional. Add your client's name or the project title and the whole workspace looks intentional.
Team wikis & handbooks
First impressions matter even internally. A well-designed cover on your team wiki signals that this space is maintained and worth reading.
Notion templates
Building templates to sell on Gumroad, Notion's marketplace, or your own site? A strong cover is one of the first things buyers see. Make yours stand out with a custom design at the correct 1500×600 size.
Study & school pages
Students use Notion for lecture notes, assignment trackers, and semester plans. A personalised cover for each subject makes navigation cleaner and more enjoyable.
What is the correct Notion cover size?
The correct Notion cover size is 1500 × 600 pixels, a 2.5:1 aspect ratio. Notion recommends a width of at least 1500 px so covers stay sharp on retina displays and ultra-wide monitors.
This tool exports every cover at exactly 1500 × 600 px (1×) or 3000 × 1200 px (2× retina) as PNG or JPG — so you never have to resize, crop, or guess dimensions.
