Images & Presentation

These fields do not do all the heavy lifting, but they shape the first impression before anyone starts a chat.

Avatar

• Required for new characters.
• Uploading opens a crop step before the file is saved into the form.
• The current app expects at least 400 x 600 pixels.

The avatar should make the character readable at a glance. If someone sees the card for one second, this image is part of what tells them whether to click.

Banner

• Optional.
• Also goes through the crop flow.
• The current app expects at least 1500 x 500 pixels.

Use the banner for atmosphere, setting, or background flavor.

It is best treated as a secondary image:

• the avatar does most of the immediate recognition work
• the banner is more about mood than clarity
• some users will only notice it subtly depending on where they open the character

Do not put crucial readable information only in the banner art.

Title

• The title people see on the character card.
• Keep it readable at a glance.
• A clear title usually does more work than a clever but vague one.

Tagline

• The short public-facing pitch on the card.
• Tags can be typed directly into this field with #.
• Use it to tell people what kind of experience they are about to open.

What Good Presentation Looks Like

A strong card usually has:

• an avatar that is easy to read at small size
• a title that is specific
• a tagline that sets expectation quickly

If discovery feels weak, these are the first presentation fields to tighten.
