Use this interactive demo to learn how to set a custom cover image on a Notion gallery card.

Quick summary

Adding a cover image to a Notion gallery view makes your database visually rich and easier to scan at a glance. You can upload any image from your device to personalize each gallery card in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Click the gallery card where you want to add a cover.
  2. At the top of the opened page, click Add cover.
  3. Click Change cover above the cover image to open cover options.
  4. Select Upload to add an image from your device.
  5. Browse your device to find the perfect image file.
  6. Choose the image you want to use.
  7. The cover image will now appear on the gallery card in your Notion gallery view.

📌 Why this matters

Notion's gallery view becomes far more useful when each card displays a distinct cover image, making it easy to visually identify records at a glance. Adding cover images to gallery cards helps teams organize projects, portfolios, and content libraries in a way that is both functional and visually engaging. This feature is especially valuable for creative teams, product managers, and knowledge workers who rely on Notion as a central workspace. Customizing gallery covers requires no coding and takes only seconds, making it one of the quickest ways to elevate the look and usability of any Notion database.
