If you want users to watch your video, the cover determines whether they will stay or leave. A good cover can not only attract users to watch, but also enhance the video content. Just like some domestic movies, the storyline is very ordinary, but the posters are well done and still attract the audience to buy tickets.

Recently, Xigua Video has updated its requirements for cover production.

Software watermark removal is the better choice among the three. You can quickly remove the watermark after finalizing the design on the computer version.
