Featured images

Practitioners pick three images and studios pick four to represent them. Here's how to choose yours and everywhere they show up across InkMap.

Featured images are the handful of posts you pick to represent you across the app. Practitioners choose three; studios choose four. They're pulled from posts you've already published — you don't upload anything separate. They're often the first work someone sees of you outside your full profile, so pick the ones you'd lead with.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open your work

    Go to your own profile and open your Feeds tab (or Gallery, if you're a studio), where your published posts live.

  2. 2

    Star the ones you want

    Tap the star on a post to feature it. Tap it again to unfeature. You can feature up to three (practitioners) or four (studios) — once you're at the limit, unfeature one to make room for another.

  • Where your featured images appear

    Your featured images don't just sit on your profile. They surface in the places people discover you:

    • On the map — when lots of pins sit close together and group into a cluster, the cluster preview shows featured images from the people inside it.
    • On a studio's pin — the panel that slides up when someone taps a studio shows each team member with one of their featured images.
    • On a studio's Team tab — each person on the team is listed with a featured image.
    • On guest cards — when a practitioner is doing a guest spot at a studio, their guest card on that studio's profile uses a featured image.

Frequently asked questions

Can I feature an image that isn't one of my posts?

No. Featured images are chosen from posts you've already published, so the first step is always to post the work.
