In the desktop view, the height of the uploaded image is fixed at 64 px and the width is enlarged or shrunk according to the display width of the Web browser.

The image file set as the cover photo is enlarged or shrunk to fill the entire image area of the space while maintaining the aspect ratio. If text or a logo in the image is cut off or extended off screen, place it in the middle of the image.
