Meetup Image Sizes
Checked against Meetup's help centre on 21 October 2026. Meetup publishes the minimum for the group cover photo; it gives no separate size for event photos.
| Placement | Recommended size | Aspect ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group cover photo | 1200 x 675 px | 16:9 | Meetup's minimum; smaller uploads are rejected |
| Event photo | 1200 x 675 px | 16:9 | No published size; a 16:9 image from 1200 x 675 works as the event header |
| File type and size | JPG or PNG | Any | Under 10 MB, for group, event and profile photos |
| Speaker or member post | 1080 x 1080 px | 1:1 | Not a Meetup size: the banners people share in other networks |
Keep the title and faces away from the edges; the photo is also shown smaller in lists, where details near the edge are lost.
Crop a Photo to 1200 x 675 for Meetup
Drop an image up to 15 MB; the crop box is locked to 16:9 and the download is a 1200 x 675 PNG.
Built for Groups That Meet Every Month
One Template, Twelve Events
Keep the group's design and change the date, venue and speakers in the list. The banner for next month is a list edit, not a design session.
Speakers Bring Their Own Audience
A speaker's colleagues are the people most likely to come. Their banner, posted from their own account, is the invitation that works.
Co-Organizers Without Editor Access
Co-organizers get a share page like any speaker. They post the banner, you keep control of the design.
Multi-Chapter Groups
City chapters share a template and differ by a mapped city field. One campaign per chapter keeps the RSVP links and reports separate.
Meetup Banners for Speakers, Members and Chapters
No Design Skills After the First Template
Start from a meetup template in the library, put your logo and colours on it, and map the speaker's name, photo and talk title. Every banner after that is generated from the list. If the venue changes, edit one field.
Members and Co-Organizers Share Too
Put the attendee widget on the RSVP confirmation page or your group site. Members type a name, get an I'm going banner and share it. Co-organizers are imported like speakers and get a personal page with their own tracked link.
Beyond the Meetup.com Page
Set the group's RSVP page as the landing URL, whether it is on Meetup.com, Luma or your own site. Every share links there through a tracked short link, so you learn which speaker or member brought the RSVPs.
Set Up the Group Once
1. Design the Group Banner
Logo, colours, a photo frame for the speaker and a text layer for the talk title.
2. Add This Month's Speakers
Two or three names typed in by hand. Upload a CSV when there are more.
3. Send Links and Post the Widget Snippet
Speakers get an email with their page; the widget goes on the RSVP confirmation or the group site.
Everything a Group Needs on the Free Plan
One Campaign, Ten People, Fifty Banners a Month
Enough for a monthly meetup with a few speakers. Delete last month's campaign to start the next one (its numbers go with it), or upgrade to keep past meetups and run several in parallel.
Widget, Pixel and Analytics Included
The I'm going widget, the conversion pixel and the full analytics are part of every plan, the free one included. Standard and Pro remove the Powered by line.
