Providers, instructors, and attendees see the cover image when browsing your Locations or considering an event request, so a clean, well-lit image makes a real difference in how your space is perceived. ##### Before you begin - **You need a CEU Events Places account** to upload or update a cover image. Only the Places account manager has access to Location editing tools. - **Prepare your image at exactly 720 × 405 pixels** (a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio). Images at other dimensions may appear cropped, stretched, or blurry. - **Save the image for the web** — this means exporting it as a compressed file (typically JPEG or PNG) so it loads quickly without sacrificing visible quality. Most image-editing tools have a "Save for Web" or "Export for Web" option. ##### How to upload or update a cover image 1. Sign in to [www.ceuevents.com](https://www.ceuevents.com) with your **CEU Events Places account credentials**. 2. Click **Locations**. 3. Click **Edit** next to the Location you want to add or update the image for. 4. Click the **Upload File** icon. 5. Select the image file from your computer. 6. Click **Save**. > 📝 **Note:** Images must be **720 × 405 pixels** for the best display. Uploading at this exact size prevents distortion or unexpected cropping in how the image appears across CEU Events. ##### Best practices - **Use a hero shot, not a closeup.** A wider photo of your space — showing the room, lighting, and overall feel — works better than a tight detail shot at the small cover-image size. - **Show your space at its best.** Clean, well-lit, uncluttered photos communicate professionalism. Avoid images with people whose permission you don't have to publish. - **Keep visual style consistent across Locations.** If you have multiple Locations, using a similar photographic style (lighting, framing, mood) makes your Places account look more cohesive. - **Optimize the file size.** Save your image for the web before uploading. A large unoptimized file slows load times without adding visible quality at 720 × 405. - **Refresh when your space changes.** If you renovate, rearrange, or rebrand your venue, update the cover image so it accurately reflects what attendees and providers will see when they arrive. #### Troubleshooting - **The image won't upload.** Check that your file is in a standard web format (JPEG or PNG) and that the file size isn't unusually large. Saving the image for the web with standard compression typically resolves upload issues. - **The image looks blurry, stretched, or cropped.** This almost always means the image wasn't 720 × 405 pixels before upload. Resize it to the exact dimensions in an image editor and upload again. - **You uploaded the wrong image and want to replace it.** Follow the same steps to upload a new image — the new image replaces the existing one on save. - **Still having trouble?** [Contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new) and we'll help. - [For Attendees](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#main-content) - [Certificates & Credits](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#certificates-credits) - [Attending Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#attending-events) - [Manage My Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#manage-my-events) - [My Account & Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#my-account-profile) - [Reviews & Feedback](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#reviews-feedback) - [Organizations & Associations](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#organizations-associations) - [For Instructors](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#main-content) - [Best Practices](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#best-practices) - [Managing My Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-events) - [Managing My Courses](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-courses) - [Managing My Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-profile) - [Managing My Requests](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-requests) - [Reports](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#reports) - [Marketing Resources](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#marketing-resources) - [For Providers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#main-content) - [Managing Instructors](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-instructors) - [Managing Courses](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-courses) - [Managing Requests](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-requests) - [Managing Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-events) - [Reports](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#reports) - [Marketing Resources](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#marketing-resources) - [Company Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#company-profile) - [Reviews & Feedback](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#reviews-feedback) - [For Places/Locations](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#main-content) - [Places Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#places-account) - [Locations Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#locations-account) - [For Conference Organizers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#main-content) - [Preparation for the Conference](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#preparation-for-the-conference) - [During the Conference](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#during-the-conference) - [General](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/general) [![CEU-Events-Logo](https://help.ceuevents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CEU-Events-Logo-100-1.png?width=100&height=100&name=CEU-Events-Logo-100-1.png "CEU-Events-Logo")](http://www.ceuevents.com) [www.ceuevents.com](https://www.ceuevents.com) Copyright © 2026, CEU Events [Report an issue with this article](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new)
