How to Add a Cover Image
Your cover image should be a direct link (URL) to an image hosted online. Here are the best ways to get one:
Option 1: Use a Free Stock Photo Site
Visit unsplash.com, pexels.com, or pixabay.com
Search for an image related to your article
Click on the image to open it in full size
Right-click the image → Copy Image Link
Paste the link into the Cover Image field above
Option 2: Upload to Your Own Server
Upload the image to your website hosting or cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.)
Get the direct link to the image file
Paste it into the Cover Image field
Option 3: Use a CDN Service
Services like imgur.com or imgbb.com allow you to upload and host images for free
Upload your image and copy the direct link
Paste the link here
📝 Pro tip: The best cover images are 1200 × 630 pixels. This ensures they display beautifully on all devices and social media platforms.
Testing Your Link
After you paste the image URL above, a preview will appear below. This means your link is working correctly and the image will display on your published article.
Note: The image must remain accessible online. If the URL breaks or the image is removed later, it won't appear on your article.
