Add or change a project picture/photo

Overview

How do I add or change a project picture so the project is easier to recognize?

A project frontpage picture helps users quickly identify the correct project across the platform. In environments where multiple projects are active at the same time, a visual identifier makes it faster to navigate and reduces the risk of selecting the wrong project.

The image is displayed in project frontpage-related views within the portfolio, providing a clear visual reference when browsing and managing projects. This is especially useful for teams working across many projects where names alone are not always sufficient for quick identification.

Adding or updating the project picture is done directly from Project settings, where you can upload a new image, replace an existing one, or remove it entirely if needed.

Only users with the project role Admin can upload, replace, or remove the project frontpage picture.

When and why to use this

Use this feature when you want to make a project more visually recognizable.

Use it when multiple projects have similar names or structures.
Use it to give the project a clear visual identity on the frontpage.
Other users can see the image even if they cannot change it.
To replace an image, the current image must first be removed.
The image is also used in PDF generation.
Maximum file size is 5 MB.
Common image formats are supported via the file picker.

How to - step by step

Upload a project frontpage picture

Open the project.
Go to Project settings.
Find the Project picture section.
Click Browse.
Select an image file from your computer.
Wait for the upload to complete and the page to refresh.

Replace or remove an existing project picture

Open Project settings for the project.

To replace it, first remove the existing image.

Behavior and results

Once a project picture is uploaded, it is linked to the project and displayed in frontpage-related contexts. This helps users quickly recognize the project and ensures the image can be included in PDF outputs.
