This is going to be a short chapter, but it's one you definitely don't want to skip! Let's talk about correct cover sizes-because nothing's worse than spending time making a cute cover only for it to come out blurry, messy, or cropped off 🙃.
✦ RECOMMENDED COVER DIMENSIONS:
🖼 512 x 800 px - This is the size I personally use most of the time. 🖼 1024 x 1600 px - This is a larger version and works just as well!
You can't just throw any size into your editing app and expect it to look perfect when uploaded. These dimensions help your cover look crisp, clean, and professional-no blur, no weird cuts, no quality drop.

They look pretty similar, but trust me-there's a difference, especially when uploading to a platform. One might give you a sharper result depending on how your site/app compresses the image.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Please don't copy, trace, or recreate the covers in this chapter. I made them just for this guide and they're not for reuse 💖
