Does anyone know the the asset dimensions for the cover photo and logos you can upload to customize your Rise courses? Or where that info might be listed? It's not visible in settings screen of a course.
Hi. I am wondering if there is any feedback on the development of the 'feature on image' option for a cover photo? We would really love that option! Thanks
This still seems to be a problem. I would really appreciate if you fixed it soon. When the cover photo looks nice in desktop view, it doesn't in mobile etc.
There is no need for different focal points for different devices either. It just makes sure this focal point is as central as it can be if the entire image can't be shown.
Seen this question appear a few times online. Thought some of you might find these useful. They use a 2100:700px header image dimension. They're based on the Preview tool in Articulate rise, so they won't always be perfect (e.g. long course titles, device dimensions), but they'll do the trick 95% of the time.
It would actually be useful to be able to specify the image for the cover, a different one if necessary for the sidebar menu etc as that would add more flexibility.
I created my own icon image using PowerPoint and set the dimensions to H:7.14 cm x W:33.87. Then saved with the prefix _NOPROCESS_name.jpg. It looks good and I was able to place the icons to the right so the title was nice and clear.
Not sure if I need to be set to that size but it was the shape I was playing with and it works for me. I might apply the same principles to images. Cropping to that size and saving with the naming prefix to keep the image clarity.
Would you mind uploading your PPT template? I tried to resize mine and I still cannot get it to work right. I have my logo in the bottom right, and then I have no idea how it ends up where it does in Rise, either cut off or over the text...very frustrating!
We need the same crop options for Cover Photo that we have for the rest of the images in a course. Of course it's easier to add a photo from the gallery but sometimes we need images from other sources.
Me too. Is it impletmented? Nope! I can't use a background (brand) image with text on the left as it gets cut off because the image does not scale properly. Eg when the browser is fully open the oimage is fine, but when partically closed the image is scales a little, but not in proportion. So viewing an image on different platforms (iphone, ipad, laptop, portrait, landscape) does not work, unless it's a piece of wallpaper without any meaning or text or logos.
Overall the program is very outdated for functionality, but the client makes me use it.
Not that another vote for this will help, but adding a +1 for cover image staying the same aspect ratio and focal point in both views - in all responsive templates.

Hi all,
For cover page images, here are the dimensions that worked for me :
Width: 1903 Height: 767.
It is best to rename any image with the suffix “_NOPROCESS_”, for the image to be viewed in full clarity.
Hi Elena,
I will give your suggestions a try, thank you.
Take a look at how Squarespace does it.
A draggable focal point circle.

Thank you for sharing this, Clint!

I've used this file as a gauge for headers.

Agree with the focal image. As a designer for a major corporation it is difficult when the image goes al higgilty piggilty.
