- Delete the image on the group’s home page.
In the Cover Photo panel, click or tap the Delete Cover Photo button. The image is removed and replaced with the Groups.io default image.
- Change the icon displayed on mobile devices and on members’ Feed pages on the group’s website.

Tip: The system scales cover photo images to fit within 900 x 300 pixels (3:1 ratio) and scales icon images to fit within 200 x 200 pixels. If you want an image to look its best in Groups.io (that is, not distorted by the scaling), use an image editor to make the image the applicable size before you upload it to the group.
