Cover for the group VK memes. Uploading the cover to the group
VK users recently had the opportunity to set a cover for a VKontakte group. In this post we will tell you which optimal one is needed VKontakte group cover size for the most optimal display on various monitors. The cover is, one might say, the calling card of the VK group. It should reflect the theme of the group, that is, any network user who visits the page should immediately determine by its appearance what kind of community it is. About and for the VKontakte avatar can be found in detail by clicking on the link above. Despite this, we still remind you that the optimal image size for a group cover is a picture with a width of 1590 pixels and a height of 400 pixels (see picture below).
You, of course, can take any other sizes, but there is no guarantee that the cover image will look equally beautiful on all screens without exception. According to technical support, 1590:400 pixels is the best group cover size. Even when downloading and installing a picture, VKontakte will give recommendations regarding the size and format of the uploaded photo, as shown in screenshot 3 below. To set your unique cover, you must go to the action menu, and more specifically to managing your community (see Fig. 1 below). This settings section is located on the right under the group avatar (photo). You can learn more about how to make an avatar for a VK group. After entering the management page, find the item regarding the cover and click on the link: “Download” a little to the right, as shown in picture 2 below. After this, a window will open (3 - in the picture below), where you can directly download the image.

A fairly popular site where you can make a cover layout for the VKontakte community is “ http://www.fotor.com"(see picture above). Now many users are complaining about the performance of this service, but we SocPRka it was tested and found to be working correctly and without any glitches. If you have problems with fotor, then try using another equally popular resource - “ https://www.canva.com" There are no complaints from novice designers about his work. This is a fairly simple site that anyone can figure out in a short time.

All groups with tens, hundreds of thousands and even millions of subscribers have a unique, memorable, beautiful and simply inimitable design, where the cover plays one of the key roles. Of course, beauty does not mean that people will come to you. The content of the group is very important, which will interest subscribers and not let them go.

In the meantime, we are bringing subscribers to you, you can explore the site, which has collected a huge variety of ready-made pictures of the right size for group covers.

A page will open (screen below) on which you can see what this cover will look like. If everything suits you, click on the download button to install it on your page.
While setting up my groups and helping friends, I found it inconvenient to remember the recommended sizes every time. At first I wrote them down in notes, and later I decided to make myself templates, which I share with you.
The archive contains three templates: for VK, Facebook and YouTube. Files in PSD format (Photoshop). They have the recommended size and already arranged guides for different screen sizes (desktop computers and mobile devices).
Markup for the VKontakte group/public header
I want to immediately warn you that on mobile devices the header is cut off at the edges and a little at the top. VK does not write anything about this when loading the cover. Using scientific research, I determined the width of the safe area to be 1200 px (internal layout guides). If it turns out that I missed the mark, please let me know in the comments. I'll correct it.
Facebook group/public cover markup
- 820×312 px for desktop computers,
- 640×360 px for mobile devices,
- 851x315 px, but this size is considered optimal and the fastest loading.
For some reason, the mobile size is larger than the recommended cover size for PC. I made the layout size 851x360.
Youtube channel cover layout
- 2560x1440 px for TVs,
- 2560x423 px for desktop computers and laptops,
- 1855×423 px for tablets,
- 1546×423 px for mobile.
Here, as in the case of VK, the sizes for mobile devices do not match. I haven’t done any scientific research, but I recommend making larger margins from the internal guides. If you place something in the center, place it three-quarters wide. I think you won't miss it. And I will also be grateful if you share your sizes from personal experience in the comments.
That's all. I hope you find it useful. Ask in the comments if anything is unclear. Good luck in your creativity!

Attention: I am writing an article because I am tired of questions about how to create a VKontakte cover. I freaked out.
Hello everyone, it’s like I’m back from a vacation of laziness and I’ll finally write something useful. Today we will look at covers on social networks and a popular question for me - how to make a cover in a group or public on VKontakte. If anything, this is not a cover, but just a pinned post.
Now almost every social network has acquired this cover, otherwise called page cover. This has become fashionable, probably now it is some kind of standard of individualization for users of social networks, because people like to do something creative and special to stand out from the crowd of other users.
From philosophy to action, let’s immediately start with the main thing, for which you have all gathered here, so to speak.
How to make a cover on VKontakte public page
This is what the cover looks like in my public page. I drew it myself and cut it later. People have written to me many times and asked how to do this, so I am writing now so that they can now find and read it, and then make themselves the same creative cover. Covers can be made both in public and in groups.
The size of the cover image is no larger than 380px by 251px. (I think). You can do more, but it may shrink crookedly. It is worth noting that you can attach not only pictures to the cover, but also audio recordings, a map, documents, surveys and graffiti.
Algorithm for creating a VKontakte cover:
Okay, maybe just not everyone is a VKontakte guru (sarcasm) like me. If you helped, please like and tell your friends:3
Here are the exact measurements to improve the group design.
And now the second part of our post - an analytical review of all covers on social networks and an opinion about them. At the end there is a useful bonus and postscript.
As we know or guess, the first in this matter were Facebook with its Timeline. It’s somehow easier to make covers there, maybe even the Internet is already overflowing with posts of 20 creative Facebook covers and the like. Then they will make the same post about VKontakte, if there are creative people there, of course: 3
Here are the dimensions if you want to make a cover.
Google Plus
Covers have also recently appeared on Google+. I like them because they can be moved, it’s useful, believe me. There are also default covers, which is also good for those who are extremely lazy and too lazy to look for a cover and get creative. There are more important things to do than a cover for a social network, yes, yes.
Cover size 940px by 180px.
My [email protected]
Cover size 790px by 210px
Bonus.
It is logical that there is a service that would collect covers for social networks. I will share the most popular sites with covers for facebook and Google+

http://freecoverdesign.com/
http://www.addcovers.com/
http://covertimeline.com/
http://cower.me/facebook-timeline-covers/categories/

P.S.
Of course, you need covers. I'm not against them, but only for them. They allow, as I already said, to be creative and show your individuality or something. For companies with a brand book to show everyone their brand, which is even very respectable.
By the way, for 1000 rubles I can draw you some beautiful cover, please contact: 3
