A good-quality JPG is best, with minimum dimensions of 640×640 pixels, but no larger than 1 MB. Use the image cropper to frame your image: slide the gray ball along the scale to zoom in or out; click and drag on the image to center it as desired. Then click the “Save” button.
  5. Hero Image: The default image is New Hope’s campaign banner. You can replace it with an image or video of your loved one(s) that you are fundraising in memory of.

    (c) Video – Select “Edit” and then paste in the direct link to a public video (only Vimeo and YouTube [but not YouTube Shorts]) that you wish to embed on your page. Paste the full URL (with “http://” or “https://“), not an “embed code.” Then click the “OK” button.

This opens a dropdown menu that includes links to all of your fundraising pages under “Your Fundraising Pages.”
