Quick Check (Cover Images for Titles)

Before submitting a main cover image, please double-check the following:

Is this image official promotional material?

Was it released by:

• The broadcaster

• The production company

• The official distributor

• An official streaming platform only if the title is a platform original

Is it used in:

• Official promotion

• Press or launch materials

• Official drama, movie, or program listings

Images that appear only as:

• Platform UI visuals

• App thumbnails

• Search-result images

• Reposted images without an official source

may not be accepted.

Does this image appear on reliable official sources?

Such as:

• Official broadcaster or platform websites

Official social media accounts of:

• The title

• The broadcaster

• The platform

• The production company

• The distributor

⚠️ Databases or aggregators may preserve official posters, but they are not authoritative by default.

They are acceptable only when the image itself is clearly official and no longer available from primary sources.

Is this image unedited and intact?

Has it not been:

• Cropped

• “Cleaned” (titles, logos, credits, or text removed)

• Recolored or heavily retouched

• Reassembled or reconstructed

• AI-enhanced or artificially upscaled

Official branding (titles, logos, credits) is part of the original design and must be preserved.

Is the orientation handled correctly?

All main cover images must be submitted in vertical format.

If the official main promotional poster is horizontal:

• It must be rotated to vertical only if no official vertical version exists.

• The entire original poster must remain intact.

Do not:

• Crop left or right to “make it fit”

• Rebuild banners, headers, or layouts into posters

• Modify text, credits, or branding

Does this image match the correct context?

Does it represent:

• The correct title

• The correct season, part, or installment (if applicable)

• The correct release period

Is it not:

• From a different title

• Reused from a sequel, prequel, spin-off, special, or anthology parent

Each title, season, part, or separately listed entry must have its own cover image.

Is this image appropriate as a main cover?

Acceptable:

• Official poster

• Key visual

• Official promotional image

• Official program logo or branding visual (for TV programs only)

Not acceptable:

• Platform thumbnails

• Search-result images

• Episode screenshots or trailer frames

• UI images with menus, progress bars, or playback controls

For TV Programs specifically

Is this:

• An official program poster, logo, or branding visual

And not:

• An episode still

• A studio or behind-the-scenes photo

• A host or cast portrait

• A platform-generated thumbnail
