Add a card cover

Card covers let you customize the card’s front with an image or color, and control which details appear on a card when it’s not open.

Cover size

Half covers let you show a color or image while also seeing a preview of the card’s details, such as the Due date, checklists, card members, and more. Full covers will hide the preview of the card’s details, showing only the selected image or color.

Add a cover to a card

To add a card cover:

1. Open the card and Select Cover

2. Add a color, upload your own image or select an image from Unsplash

3. Choose a cover size

Colorblind friendly mode can be enabled when adding a card cover. It adds a pattern to colored card covers to make them easier to differentiate for people who see colors differently.

Disable card covers on a board

Card covers can be enabled or disabled for a board within the board menu under Settings.

Add a card cover on Trello mobile

You can set an image as a card’s cover by tapping the card cover icon at the top of the board, or by adding a new attachment to the card, or by tapping on an existing attachment on a card.

To add a card cover:

1. Open a card and scroll up to reveal the Cover button

2. Select Cover

3. Select a color, an image from Unsplash, or select () in the Attachments section to take a photo or select an image that’s already attached to the card

Create a card cover with AI

Use Trello's AI image generation to create a custom card cover from a text prompt. Instead of uploading an image or choosing from Unsplash, describe what you want and Trello will generate a cover that matches your prompt.

Availability: This feature is available to Standard, Premium users in workspaces with AI features enabled. It's currently available on Trello web and desktop only.

Generate an AI card cover

1. Open the card and select Cover.

2. Select Create a cover image.

3. Enter a text prompt describing the image you want.

4. Optionally, select a style preset: Realistic, Abstract, Watercolors, or None.

5. Select the arrow icon to generate the card cover image.

6. Once the image is generated, select Use image to apply it as the card cover.
   
   
   

The generated image is attached to the card as an attachment and applied as the card cover.

Image generation credits

You get 10 card cover generation credits per month, which reset on the 1st of each month. Card cover credits are separate from board background credits.

• If generation fails, no credit is used — you can retry.

• If you close the popover while an image is generating, the generation continues in the background. The image will appear under the card's attachments once it's ready.
