Below you will find all the requirements for all images for your Steady project.
We offer two different ready-to-use templates:
Canva templates that are linked from each image type. Click on the template, customize the design, download the image and upload it in the corresponding place in your Steady backend. Please be aware that you need to create a Canva account to use the templates.
For a more advanced option, we've also created Figma templates for all image types. Please be aware that you need to create a Figma account to use the templates.
As a third option, if you want professional designers to create the artwork for you, the Designer Community Platform designenlassen provides a special offer to Steady media makers. Click here to get a personalized offer.
