6 Things to Consider While Creating Fiver Gig Images

1. Use the Best Fiverr Gig Image Size

Before designing an image for your Fiverr gig, make sure you are using the right size for it. Don’t go for too large or too small images.

The minimum size for a Fiverr gig image in 2020 is 550 pixels by 370 pixels. This means that the minimum width should be 550 pixels and the minimum height should be 370 pixels.

2. Don’t Overuse Text

It’s not a good idea to add a lot of text to your image. Remember, less is more. Keep your text simple and precise. Use the right fonts to increase readability. It’s best to use San Serif fonts for gig images. Besides that, avoid unprofessional colors in the images. Select a professional color theme and design your gig images around that theme.

3. Don’t Copy Other Seller’s Gig Images

Never steal or copy someone else’s gig image and use it as your own. This is against the rules of Fiverr and you may get blocked for doing this. Besides that, it also affects your Fiverr gig rankings. Always create your own images with high resolution to get orders on your gig.

4. Avoid Clickbait Images

Clickbait is basically a false marketing practice where you mislead buyers to get clicks on your gig. Using clickbait gig images can lead to a permanently suspended Fiverr account or banned gig. So, avoid this practice because it will not generate long-term results if you are trying to establish a great portfolio on Fiverr.

5. No Irrelevant Images

Your gig image should be in accordance with the service you are offering in the gig. Irrelevant gig images not only confuse buyers but also reduce your chances of generating sales.

6. Don’t Use Badges in Gig Images

No matter if you are a top-rated seller or a verified pro, Fiverr does not allow you to display any kind of badge or certificate in your gig image. Avoid all types of badges while creating a Fiverr gig image. It is strictly against the TOCs of Fiverr.

Important Points to Cover in a Gig Image 

Here are the three points that you should target in your gig image to get noticed:

1. The end result that the customer wants
2. Time duration to complete the work
3. Common objections related to the service

You don’t really need to add all of the above things all the time while creating a gig image. Here’s how you can use them wisely in a gig image:

• Use only the first point (end result) in your gig image.
• Make use of the first and second points (end result + time duration) for your Fiverr gig image.
• Use all three points (end result + time duration + objections) to create an impressive gig image.

How to Create Fiverr Gig Image Online in 2020

If you are not a graphic designer (like me 😛 ) or don’t have any professional picture editing software, it’s best to create your Fiverr gig image online.

There are many online websites available for this purpose. I like Canva the most.

Let’s see how you can create an image for your gig using Canva:

• Go to Canva and create your account by clicking the Sign-up button. You can also sign up with Google or Facebook.

• Once you are in your account, you’ll see a lot of options like Social Media, Presentation, Poster, Video, Mobile-First Presentation, Facebook Cover, Flyer, etc.

• To create your own design, click on Create a Design button at the top left corner as shown in the image below:

• You can select custom dimensions for your gig image as well. Click the Custom Dimensions option and enter your desired image size.

• As we know, the best image size for Fiverr gig is 550 pixels by 370 pixels so we’ll create an image of this particular width and height. After setting the dimensions, click Create Design.

• Now, you’ll see a new window like this:

• Here, you can use the toolbar to select any picture you like, upload your own picture, add text to it, adjust & edit it according to your own choice.

• Once you have designed your image, click the Download arrow at the top right corner to download the image. Canva’s default image extension is PNG but Fiverr only allows JPG and JPEG images. So, make sure to change the image format from PNG to JPG/JPEG before downloading.

How to Create Fiverr Gig Image Offline in 2020

I have a really good tool for you that you can use to create your Fiverr gig images offline.

Picasa has always been my go-to image editing software since my teenage years. It is basically a Google Product that helps you to organize, edit, and upload photos. What I like the most about Picasa is that it’s free and very easy-to-use.

Once you install Picasa, it searches for all the images in your hard drive and then shows them in different folders organized in the form of a gallery.

You can also import photos directly from your cameras or other devices using the Import button at the top left corner.

Here’s how you can create a gig image for Fiverr using Picasa:

• Once you have imported all the photos in Picasa, just click on the photo you want to edit.
• This is the screen you’ll see once you have picked the photo you want to edit:

• Picassa provides 5 different tabs having a variety of features for picture editing.

• While designing a picture for Fiverr gig, you’ll mostly use the Text option.

• This feature has a lot of options that you can use to add text, pick different colors, adjust alignment, and select the right font size & style for creating a killer Fiverr gig image.

• After you have designed your image, click the Apply button to save changes.

• Afterwards, save the image by clicking the File -> Save button at the top left corner.

Wrap Up

That’s all, folks!

The purpose of a Fiverr gig image is to get the attention of buyers so that they can visit your gig and then place orders. Do the best you can to create a catchy gig image because it can make or mar the entire impression of your gig.
