Indiegogo Image Size Guide (2026): Thumbnail, Cover, Gallery and Rewards

Indiegogo image size, in short: Indiegogo recommends 700×700 px (1:1) for the project thumbnail, reward and add-on images, update images, the creator avatar and the launch image, and 1200×630 px for project gallery images and the social sharing image. The cover image and creator home page slideshow need at least 1743×498 px, with no text on the cover.

Indiegogo's help center lists a different size for each image slot, and the shapes vary from square to a very wide banner. Use the wrong one and Indiegogo crops your thumbnail, covers your product with backer counts or darkens your text. This guide puts every official size in one table, explains the crops and overlays, and shows how to make all of them from one product photo. The free image resizer exports each exact size, and the image cropper locks to any ratio.

What size are Indiegogo images?

There are three shapes: square 700×700 for most images, 1200×630 for gallery and social images, and a minimum of 1743×498 for covers. These are Indiegogo's own recommended (or minimum) sizes from its project image help article.

Indiegogo's article labels the 1200×630 images as 16:9 and the 1743×498 cover as 21:6, but the pixel sizes are closer to 1.9:1 and 3.5:1. Design to the pixel sizes, which is what the platform uses. The aspect ratio calculator works out matching sizes if you want to export larger.

Indiegogo's recommended image sizes were checked in October 2026. Marketplaces change their rules, so confirm the current requirements in your seller dashboard before you upload a large batch.

What size is the Indiegogo project thumbnail?

700×700 pixels, square. It's the image backers see in project lists and search, so it does most of the selling. Indiegogo places follower and backer counts over the bottom of the thumbnail, so keep your product and any text in the upper two-thirds.

• One clear product: large, centered slightly high, on a clean background.
• Little or no text: a few large words at most, kept away from the bottom.
• Contrast: the thumbnail sits beside other projects; a bright product on a calm background stands out.
• Export 1400×1400: twice the size, same square shape, for sharper display on high-density screens.

What size is the Indiegogo cover image?

At least 1743×498 pixels, a wide banner shape. The cover is recommended but not required, should contain no text, and gets an automatic darkening filter, so choose a bright, simple image with the subject in the center.

1. Pick a wide lifestyle or product photo with empty space on both sides.
2. Crop it to 1743×498 (or larger at the same shape) with the cropper.
3. Keep the product in the middle third, since the sides can be cut on smaller screens.
4. Brighten it slightly to make up for the darkening filter.
5. Leave text off; put your message in the title and gallery images instead.

If your photo is too narrow for a banner, AiArter's AI image extender widens the background around the product to a banner shape (8 credits per size); crop the result to 1743×498 without cutting into the product.

What size are Indiegogo gallery images?

1200×630 pixels for the project gallery, which holds images and video thumbnails. Indiegogo notes that YouTube video thumbnails can't be added to the gallery, while Twitch and Vimeo thumbnails can. The same 1200×630 size is used for the social media image when your project is shared.

For the same work on the other big crowdfunding site, see our Kickstarter image size guide, which uses a 16:9 1024×576 project image.

How do you make every Indiegogo image from one photo?

Start with a large, high-quality product photo with space around the product, then crop or extend it to each of the three shapes. Shooting wider than you need is the simplest way to get all three from one photo.

For more on shapes, see our 16:9 aspect ratio guide, and for digital product covers on another platform, Gumroad cover image size.

What file format should Indiegogo images be?

Indiegogo's help article says it accepts standard image formats without listing them, so use JPEG for photos and PNG for graphics with text or flat color. Both are accepted almost everywhere, and they're what most campaign tools export.

Keep file sizes small so the campaign page loads fast on mobile, where many backers arrive from social links. A 1200×630 JPEG should be well under 500 KB.
