square / 1:1 (safe)
portrait / 3:4, 2:3(rare)
 Size Requirements

Square: 1000×1000px ✓
 
Portrait: 1000×1500px ✓
 
Composition Tips
Category images are usually displayed as square or landscape, but can be cropped to portrait orientation on smaller screens and in some specific sections.
Center your main subject - keep important elements in the middle of the image.
Avoid placing key content near edges, especially the top/bottom edges, which may be cropped.
Use a "safe zone" - imagine a square in the centre of your image where all important content should fit.
Avoid using text, icon, or logo overlays in the images as they may be cropped or overlap with card titles.
Use patterns and abstract composition if possible, as they are safe in all ratios.
