header image

Page top picture

A header image is the prominent visual at the top of a webpage, email, or document, spanning the full width and establishing visual identity or theme.

Social media profiles use header images (also called banners or cover photos) as background decoration behind profile pictures: I updated my header image for the holidays.

In web design, header images often contain logos, navigation, or hero content that visitors see first.
