To change the cover photo (image) on the group’s home page or change the group’s icon:

  1. Desktop browser: In the left menu on the group’s website, select Admin > PreferencesCover Photo.
    Mobile device: At the bottom of a group page, tap the More icon, then select Admin > Preferences > Cover Photo on the More menu.
  2. Follow the applicable steps based on what you want to do:

Tip: The system scales cover photo images to fit within 900 x 300 pixels (3:1 ratio) and scales icon images to fit within 200 x 200 pixels. If you want an image to look its best in Groups.io (that is, not distorted by the scaling), use an image editor to make the image the applicable size before you upload it to the group.
