What is cover image?

The thumbnail a video or Reel shows in your profile grid and feeds.

The cover decides whether people tap your video. It also shows in your profile grid, so it shapes how your brand looks overall.

The best cover is a meaningful frame that says what the video is about at a glance: a readable title and a clear visual.
