Key visual creation regulations
We have established regulations for the key visuals (cover images, title images) used in scenarios posted from Uzu Studio.
① Create the Image with a 16:9 Aspect Ratio
Key visuals created with an aspect ratio other than 16:9 will not display correctly in the app.


② Ensure Readable Contrast for the Title
If the contrast between the background image and the title text is too weak, readability will decrease. Please create your visual with contrast in mind.
What is 'contrast'? In this context, contrast refers to the difference in brightness, saturation, and hue in the key visual.

How to Improve Contrast
▷ Adjust the text color
▷ Outline the title text
▷ Add shadows behind the title text
▷ Add a subtle black or white overlay to the background image
③ Ensure the Title (Main Subject) is Readable Even When the Image is Reduced

How to Improve Readability
▷ Increase the font thickness
▷ Increase the font size
In the Uzu App's scenario list, key visuals are displayed at "160px ✕ 90px." It's a good idea to shrink your visual to this size and check its readability.
④ Include the Full Title in the Image for Scenario Details Display

If you include other text besides the title, ensure that the title is the most prominent in terms of font size.
⑤ About Furigana (Pronunciation Guides)
Uzu Studio has a "furigana entry field," but this is only for hiragana searches in the app. Furigana will not be displayed in the app itself.
If you do not add furigana to the title or include a pronunciation guide in the author comments, please include furigana in the key visual. Here are the situations where furigana is necessary:
⑥ Ensure That Materials Used Do Not Violate Copyright or Publicity Rights
If you have special reasons for wanting to use a key visual that does not conform to these regulations, please include an explanation during the review process.
