What size is a Notion cover image?

Notion covers display at 1500×600 pixels on desktop. The Sotion cover generator outputs PNG files at exactly that resolution, so what you preview is what gets uploaded — no resizing or quality loss.

How do I add a cover image to a Notion page?

Open your Notion page, hover over the area above the title, click "Add cover," choose "Upload," and select the PNG you downloaded from Sotion. The image is applied immediately and you can reposition it from the same menu.

Is the Notion cover generator free?

Yes. The cover generator is a free tool from Sotion. There is no signup, no watermark, and no per-download limit. Sotion itself — the platform that turns Notion pages into branded websites — has a 7-day free trial.

Can I use the covers I create commercially?

Yes. Patterns and uploaded images are yours to use however you like. Unsplash and Pexels images are royalty-free for commercial use under their respective licenses, but you should still credit photographers when their work is featured.

How does the safe zone work for tablet and mobile previews?

Notion crops covers differently on tablet and mobile, so important text near the edges can be hidden. The tablet and mobile preview modes overlay a black mask over the cropped areas, showing you exactly what each device will display. Center your text or keep it within the safe zone for cross-device consistency.

Can I share my cover design with someone else?

Yes. Click "Share Cover Design" and the URL containing your design is copied to your clipboard. Anyone who opens the link sees the same cover and can keep editing from there. Shared URLs work for patterns and stock images — uploaded images stay private to your browser.

Where do the stock photos come from?

You can search Unsplash and Pexels directly from the editor. Both are free royalty-free photo libraries with millions of high-resolution images. The photographer credit is preserved alongside your cover for attribution.

Will I lose my work if I close the tab?

No. Every change you make is saved to your browser automatically. When you return to the cover generator your last design is restored. Designs are stored locally — only you can see them.

Can I upload my own image?

Yes. Click "Upload" in the image source toggle and choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file under 10 MB. Your image is processed entirely in the browser — nothing is sent to any server.

Which fonts can I use?

The generator includes 15 hand-picked Google Fonts spanning serif, sans-serif, display, and monospace styles — Playfair Display, Montserrat, Bebas Neue, Courier Prime, and more. Fonts load on demand so the editor stays fast.

Do the covers work for Notion subpages and databases?

Yes. The PNG works as a cover on any Notion page — top-level pages, subpages, database items, and templates. The same image will scale correctly across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

How is this different from publishing Notion as a website?

The cover generator is a free utility — you download a PNG and upload it to Notion yourself. Sotion the platform is what turns the Notion page into a public website on your custom domain, with branding, SEO, password protection, and member management. Both are free to start.
