Whatnot image type decision map
Whatnot sellers use different images for profile identity, account cover art, show discovery, and item listings. Pick the surface first, then check the exported file.
| Image type | Target or requirement | Main risk | Check with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile picture | At least 160 x 160 px | Small text or off-center logos can disappear in compact avatar placements. | Check square image |
| Banner or cover image | 750 x 424 px | Generic social banners can be the wrong ratio or crop important account details. | Check cover image |
| Show thumbnail | Use a clear high-quality show image | A weak thumbnail may not make the show topic obvious before users bookmark or join. | Open social checker |
| Listing photo | Use high-quality product photos | Blurry or poorly cropped photos can hide item condition and reduce buyer trust. | Check product image |
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Small logo text | The profile picture becomes unreadable in compact avatar placements. | Use a simple logo mark or centered face rather than tiny text. |
| Wrong banner ratio | The seller cover image looks cropped or stretched. | Export a dedicated 750 x 424 image instead of reusing a generic social banner. |
| Weak show thumbnail | The show listing does not explain what viewers will see. | Use a clear product or category visual and keep any text large enough to read. |
| Low-quality listing photos | Buyers cannot judge product condition or details. | Use bright, clear photos from multiple useful angles before publishing listings. |
