How it works
Set up in three steps.
- 1
Open Profile
In the editor's Profile tab, browse the layouts and see each one with your own photo and name.
- 2
Pick one
Tap a layout and the preview changes. Hero lets you choose how the photo meets the page; Social, Banner and Stack take a banner image.

Restyle freely
Your layout stays put when you switch themes, so you can change colours without losing the top of your page.
What you can do
Everything it can do.
The twelve
Classic, Social, Banner, Hero, Spotlight, Arch, Polaroid, Minimal, Orbit, Stack, Ticket and Marquee. Eight are built around your photo. Classic, Social, Banner and Minimal work without one, and the photo layouts show Classic until you add a photo.
Hero and Spotlight
Hero puts a big square photo across the top, ending in a fade, a straight line, a rounded edge or a curve, with your name large where the page begins. The fade picks up the colour of your photo, and your name turns white or black when it needs to stay readable. Spotlight is a rounded cover card with your name in white over the photo, like a magazine.
Polaroid, Orbit, Ticket and Marquee
Polaroid tilts your photo in a white frame with your @handle written underneath. Orbit sets your handle in a slowly turning ring around a round photo. Ticket prints your photo and name on a stub torn along a dashed line, with a few socials. Marquee runs your name in a tilted band across an arched photo.
Banner, Stack and Arch
Banner puts a wide image behind your photo, and Stack fans your banner and photo out like two prints. Without a banner, both use a soft blur of your photo, so they never look empty. Arch frames your photo in a tall arch for a softer, editorial feel.
Social: a whole profile
Social turns your page into a profile, with a banner, your photo and an optional button beside it, like Follow or Book now. Your links, photos and services sit in tabs underneath.
Minimal
No photo at all: just your @handle and your name, big and bold. It suits writers, brands with a strong wordmark, and anyone who'd rather not show a face.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need a profile photo?
For eight of the twelve, yes. Classic, Social, Banner and Minimal work without one. If you pick a photo layout before adding a photo, your page shows Classic until you do.
Will my layout change if I pick a new theme?
No. Themes change colours, fonts and buttons. Your header layout stays the same until you change it.
Can I add a button next to my photo?
Yes, with the Social layout. Turn on the header button, give it a label like Follow, Book now or Shop, and a link. Taps on it are counted in your analytics.
Which layout works best for a business?
Classic or Banner suit a logo in the photo spot. Hero and Spotlight suit a strong photo of your space or your work. Social gives you a Book now or Shop button at the very top.
Can I use my own banner image?
Yes. Social, Banner and Stack take a banner image. Without one, they use a soft blur of your profile photo.
Can I change my layout later?
Any time. Pick another in the Profile tab and your page updates straight away.
