Common questions about preparing visuals for your Product Hunt launch.
6-8 images is the sweet spot. Product Hunt allows up to 8. Use at least 6 to tell a complete visual story of your product.
1270×760 pixels is the required size. Images that don't match this ratio will be cropped automatically, which can cut off important content.
Your first image doubles as the thumbnail (shown at 240×180). Use a bold headline, your product in a device frame, and a clean background. Avoid cluttered designs — they become unreadable at thumbnail size.
At least 2-3 days before launch. This gives you time to iterate, get feedback, and test at different sizes. Don't rush visuals on launch day.
Product Hunt supports GIFs, and they can increase engagement. Use them for showing product workflows or interactions. Keep file sizes under 3MB and ensure the first frame looks good as a still image.
