Ko-fi covers are short tip-jar billboards
Your Ko-fi page opens with a wide, short header. A practical 1600×400 (4:1) strip matches the creator-page habit many tip platforms share—closer to Patreon covers than to a square profile photo or a tall OG card.
The circular profile picture sits on the lower part of the hero. Logos glued into that pocket disappear. Keep headlines in the open mid band and treat the lower corner as quiet atmosphere.
1200×630 social previews are for link shares, not this strip. Stretching one into the other crops faces and slogans. Ship dedicated exports.
Supporters decide in a glance whether the page feels cared for. Soft phone wallpapers and busy collages underperform next to a clear product shot or bold wordmark.
Good vs weak crop
Same landscape card—edges and tiny type fail after compression or multi-image crop.

Leave the avatar pocket empty on purpose
Ko-fi overlays your profile photo on the cover. Designers who ignore that pocket lose logos every time. Compose the strip knowing a circle will sit on top.
- Keep wordmarks toward the open mid/right when the circle sits left.
- Use soft background texture in the overlap zone.
- Ko-fi profile picture — 800 × 800 circle-safe square
Ko-fi vs Patreon: similar strip, different shoppers
Both often use ~1600×400 covers. Audiences and page chrome still differ. Re-crop and preview on Ko-fi even if you start from a Patreon master.
- Patreon cover size — 1600 × 400 creator hero
- Share art direction; verify each live page.
