How to Add a Cover Image in Notion – Simple Notion Tutorial for Beginners
In today's video, I'm going to teach you how to add a cover image in Notion, a simple Notion tutorial designed specifically for beginners. Whether you're setting up a personal journal or enhancing a shared workspace, adding a cover image can really personalize and elevate the appearance of your Notion pages. Let's dive right in and get started with this straightforward process.
First, you'll need to navigate to the Notion page where you want your cover image to appear. So, go ahead and open that page. If you're new to Notion, you'll likely be using your personal workspace or perhaps a page where you jot down quick notes or ideas. Either way, make sure you're on the correct page where you want to add that nice visual touch.
Once your page is open, you're going to look for the option that says "Add Cover." This button is usually prominently displayed at the top of the page, just waiting to be clicked. So, go ahead and click on "Add Cover." This action will trigger a new section to drop down at the top of your page, which is where you'll add your new image.
Now, you have some choices about how you want to add your image. You'll see that Notion gives you three simple options. The first is uploading an image directly from your device. This is perfect if you already have a specific photo or graphic that you want to use, perhaps a personal photo or a company logo. The second option is to paste a link. This can be handy if you've found a perfect image online, and you want to link it directly, saving a bit of time. The third option is to explore images through Unsplash, a great resource for finding high-quality, royalty-free images. This is an excellent choice if you're starting from scratch with no particular image in mind.
After deciding how you want to add your image and making your selection, you might find that the default position of the photo doesn't look quite right. Don't worry; that's perfectly normal. Notion allows you to reposition the image, so it fits just the way you want. Simply click on the image, and you'll see options to drag it around until it looks perfect. Adjust it until you're satisfied with the placement, ensuring it aligns nicely with other elements on your page.
Finally, once you have the cover image sitting just right, you simply need to save your changes. Keep in mind that this is an automatic feature in Notion, so no additional steps are needed. You're all set, and your page now has that polished, personalized touch you've been aiming for. And that wraps up our quick tutorial on how to add a cover image in Notion. Thanks for watching, and enjoy customizing your Notion pages.
