Moments covers are personal tall stages—friends see them before your posts
WeChat Moments (朋友圈) is the private-ish social layer inside WeChat: friends scroll your updates under a tall cover photo. A practical 1080×1920 (9:16) master gives enough height for phone UIs that overlay names, buttons, and avatar chrome.
Unlike Instagram Stories, this cover stays on your Moments homepage as identity art. Hooks belong in the mid band—top and lower regions often collide with status UI or the circular avatar overlap.
Official Account headers (practical ~900×500) are brand cards for public accounts—not Moments. Chat profile pictures are 640×640 circles. Stretching either into Moments wastes the tall canvas.
LINE VOOM and Instagram Stories can supply starter photos, but Moments is culturally closer to a personal album front than a public brand billboard. Keep the mood personal; save campaign banners for the OA header guide.
Good vs weak crop
Same full-screen frame—top and bottom UI chrome cover anything glued to the edges.

Design for Moments culture—not a public ad wall
Moments is mainly for friends and weak-tie acquaintances inside WeChat. Covers that feel like hard-sell banners can look out of place next to personal albums. Prefer atmosphere, travel, or a clean portrait over dense promo grids.
- One scene beats a collage of every product.
- Leave room for the avatar and name chrome.
- Seasonal swaps are fine—keep the same 9:16 habit.
Moments cover vs Official Account header vs LINE
Moments is personal; Official Accounts are public brand channels. LINE has VOOM squares and OA covers instead of Moments. Cross-messenger brands should keep separate exports.
- WeChat OA header — 900 × 500 practical
- LINE Official Account cover — 1100 × 600 practical

JPG for photos; PNG for flat graphics. Prefer sRGB. Start from a sharp portrait master—do not upscale a soft screenshot.
