Below you will find the recommended thumbnail dimensions for items of content, events, topics, learning plans, and the featured content banner.
Recommended dimensions in Fuse 4
Thumbnails shown on tiles on Fuse 4 screens, such as the You, History, Saved, Feed, Topics, Communities, Learning plans and Events screens, should be 16:9 in ratio.
For example, this might be:
-
640 × 360 pixels
-
1280 × 720 pixels
-
1920 × 1080 pixels
Any legacy Fuse 3 screens shown in Fuse 4 still conform to the guidelines set out below, even if you have moved across to Fuse 4. We are gradually replacing or deprecating Fuse 3 screens. Once complete, all Fuse 4 screens will conform to the 16:9 recommendations.

Thumbnails in widgets
As thumbnails may be shown in different widgets, the platform automatically adapts and resizes them. We recommend designing for maximum responsiveness so that they work in all contexts.
Safe zone
Please take note of the safe zone for each thumbnail, marked in green on the images in the Safe zones column below. The safe zone is the part of a thumbnail that remains visible and unobscured even on the smallest widgets. When designing thumbnails, ensure that any essential imagery and text sit correctly within the safe zone so that it doesn’t get cut off or obscured.
Resizing thumbnails
Fuse allows you to upload thumbnails up to 2000 pixels in size (height or width). We recommend using smaller images if possible, and in most cases, you won’t need to increase the size of your thumbnails. If you wish to resize your thumbnails, please do so while keeping in mind the ratios indicated.
