DexScreener banner size, header and logo: what to upload

DexScreener logo size: the profile image

The DexScreener logo is a square image (1:1) shown next to the token name in search results, the pair header, Trending rows and every feed that lists the token. It is displayed small — often a circle a few dozen pixels wide — so it must read at thumbnail size.

• Shape: square. Non-square files are cropped or padded, usually badly.
• Resolution: upload a crisp square of several hundred pixels a side; a tiny file looks blurry on retina screens, a huge one is pointless. Sizes in the low hundreds to around a thousand pixels are the normal range for this kind of avatar.
• Format: PNG is the safe default (transparency survives); JPG works for photographic art. Confirm in the form whether animated GIF or WebP is accepted before relying on it.
• Content: one bold symbol or mascot, high contrast, no thin text. Fill the square — empty margins shrink the visible mark even further.

DexScreener header size: the banner behind the name

The DexScreener header (also called the banner) is a wide landscape image shown across the top of the token page once Enhanced Token Info is live. It is the one piece of the profile that looks like marketing, which is why it is the one most often rejected.

• Shape: wide, roughly three times as wide as it is tall — the same family of ratio as a social-media cover image. Square or portrait art gets cropped to a thin strip.
• Resolution: a wide image a thousand-plus pixels across with a matching height keeps it sharp on desktop; the form will state the exact minimum and the file-size ceiling.
• Format: PNG or JPG. Keep the file well under a few megabytes; compress before upload rather than letting the platform downscale it.
• Cropping: the header is shown at different widths on desktop, tablet and phone. The outer left and right edges and the very top and bottom are cut on smaller screens — see the safe-zone tips below.

Unlike the logo, the header is optional in practice: a profile with no header is still Dex Paid. A poor header, however, is visible on every visit, so it is worth doing once properly.

Ad banner sizes (paid ads, separate from the profile)

Ad banners are not part of Enhanced Token Info. They belong to the paid ads product, are sold per campaign on the marketplace and run in fixed slots across the site — a wide strip on desktop and a narrower placement on mobile — so a campaign typically needs more than one creative.

• Expect at least a wide desktop creative and a compact mobile creative; the marketplace order form lists the exact slots and dimensions for the package you pick.
• Ad creatives are reviewed more strictly than profile images: no misleading claims, no impersonation of other projects or of DexScreener itself, nothing that looks like a system notice.
• Design the ad as a single readable message at small size — token name, one line, one call to action. Dense text is the most common reason an ad looks fine in Figma and unreadable live.

Prices and campaign sizes change; the marketplace is the only reliable price list. What the marketplace does not tell you is how ad campaigns tend to perform — that is in Insights.

Safe zones, file size and other tips

1. Keep the message in the middle. For the header, put the logo and any wordmark in the central band — roughly the middle half of the width and the middle two-thirds of the height. Anything at the edges will be cut on phones.
2. No text at the banner edges. Tag lines, URLs and socials hugging the border disappear first. If a URL matters, it belongs in the profile links, not the image.
3. Test at thumbnail size. Shrink the logo to the size of a favicon and check you can still tell what it is. If not, simplify.
4. Compress. Export at the target resolution, then run it through an image optimiser. Oversized uploads fail silently or get re-encoded with artefacts.
5. Match the logo to the token that is already on chain. Wallets, aggregators and bots pull metadata separately; a DexScreener logo that differs from the on-chain one looks like two different projects.
6. Avoid look-alikes. Images that borrow another token's mascot, an exchange logo or DexScreener's own branding are the fastest route to a rejection.

DexScreener token info update: how the profile goes live after paying

A DexScreener token info update is the submission the team makes through the marketplace after paying for Enhanced Token Info: the logo, header, description and links are uploaded together, reviewed, and then published to the token page. The submission is reviewed before it is published, so the profile does not appear the second the payment confirms — it lands when the submission is approved; the marketplace said "most orders are processed within a few minutes", with up to 12 hours allowed, when we checked on 23 Aug 2026.

• Pay first on the marketplace, selecting the chain and contract address. Copy the address from the explorer, never from a chat message.
• Fill the token info form in one go: square logo, wide header, a short neutral description, and working links (website, X, Telegram). Broken or placeholder links hold the review up.
• After approval the page shows the check-mark and the new images. Later changes — a rebranded logo, a new header, updated socials — go through the same update form; some changes may be free, others may require a new order, so check the form before assuming.
• The moment the profile goes live is exactly what DXT Tools records as a Dex Paid event: the time, the chain and the market cap at that minute. That is the first public trace of the marketing budget, and it is visible in the Dex Paid feed before most traders notice the check-mark.

Common rejections and how to avoid them

Most rejected token info updates fail on basics, not on policy. The usual causes:

If a submission is rejected, the reason is usually stated in the marketplace order; fix that one thing and resubmit rather than changing everything.
