Optimize images for Notion — compress page covers, icons and embedded images to the right sizes. Prevent slow loading in shared Notion workspaces. Free, browser-based.
All recommended Notion image dimensions for 2026. Upload at these exact sizes and compress before uploading to avoid any quality loss from platform-side re-compression.
| Type | Width x Height | Aspect Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page Cover | 1500 x 600 px | 5:2 | Page header cover image — cropped to ~2.5:1 ratio by Notion |
| Page Icon | 280 x 280 px | 1:1 | Custom page icon — displayed at small size, keep under 20 KB |
| Embedded Image | 1200 x 800 px | 3:2 | In-page content images — Notion content width is ~700px, upload at 2x for retina |
Open the Compress tool and drop your Notion images. Set quality to 80% — Notion does not compress uploads, and large images cause noticeable loading delays in shared workspaces and published pages.
For page covers, use the Resize tool to crop to exactly 1500x600 px before compressing. Notion crops covers to a ~2.5:1 ratio — pre-sizing avoids unwanted cropping and keeps your cover looking exactly as intended.
Download and upload to Notion by dragging into your page or using the /image command. For icons, keep files under 20 KB at 280x280 px — Notion displays them tiny, so larger files just waste bandwidth.

Notion hosts all uploaded images on its servers and does not aggressively compress them. If you upload a 5 MB photo, Notion serves a slightly optimized version that is still large. Pre-compressing with SammaPix to under 200 KB eliminates loading delays in both the app and published Notion pages.
1500x600 px works best. Notion crops cover images to approximately a 2.5:1 ratio. Uploading at exactly this size ensures your cover displays without unexpected cropping. Compress to under 150 KB with SammaPix for instant loading.
Yes, Notion supports custom image icons at 280x280 px. You can upload JPEG, PNG or GIF files as page icons. Keep them under 20 KB — Notion displays icons at very small sizes (24-32px), so high-resolution files are wasted bandwidth. Use SammaPix to compress before uploading.
Notion's 'Publish to web' feature creates public pages that load images from Notion's CDN. These pages benefit enormously from pre-compressed images because Notion applies minimal optimization. Compress all images with SammaPix before adding them to pages you plan to publish.
Notion supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG and WebP. For photographs, JPEG compressed with SammaPix gives the best size-to-quality ratio. For diagrams and screenshots with text, use PNG. For icons with transparency, PNG at 280x280 px is ideal.
