Design a blog header image that matches your brand without opening Figma or Canva. Type your post title, choose colors, add your logo and download a sharp PNG. It's free, with no account and no watermark.
How to create a blog header
- Write the headline. Use your post title or a shorter hook. Five to eight words reads best.
- Set your brand colors. Paste your hex codes into the gradient or solid background fields.
- Add texture. A subtle dots or grid pattern keeps flat colors from looking empty.
- Drop in your logo. Upload a logo and add your site name in the footer so every header is recognizably yours.
- Export at 2×. 1600 × 840 px looks crisp on retina screens and stays small enough to load fast.
Blog header design tips
Keep one look for every post. Readers recognize a series when headers share a layout and palette. Settings are saved in your browser, so your next header starts where the last one ended.
Make it readable at thumbnail size. Headers get shrunk in feeds and link previews. Large titles and high-contrast colors survive that. Thin fonts and busy photos don't.
Skip the stock photo. A typographic header loads faster, looks cleaner, and never clashes with your theme.
Blog header image size
Headers export at 800 × 420, 1600 × 840 or 2400 × 1260 px. That's a 1.9:1 ratio that fits WordPress, Ghost, Hashnode, Medium and Substack, and doubles as your social share image.
Frequently asked questions
What size should a blog header be?
Around 1600 × 840 px is a safe default. It's wide enough for full-width themes and matches the 1.91:1 shape social networks use for link previews.
Can I use my own fonts?
Headers use Inter, a clean sans-serif designed for screens. You control size, alignment and color.
Is it free for commercial blogs?
Yes. Use your headers anywhere, including company and client blogs.
