What a purpose-built Xiaohongshu cover delivers
Built for the feed
Vertical 3:4 covers take up more feed space in Xiaohongshu's dual-column waterfall layout, so they are easier to notice.
Text-safe composition
Every cover reserves a clean zone for your headline overlay—top third, center, or bottom—so your bold title text lands without clashing.
Category-aware styling
Beauty gets bright and airy, food gets warm and appetizing, fashion gets editorial and minimal. The cover matches the visual language of your content category.
How it is made
Upload a photo or describe your note topic
Share a source photo, a note topic, or an accepted cover to refine. Describe the category and style direction—beauty, food, fashion, or knowledge.
