Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, users are unable to customize the banner image on their profile pages. The default banner is the users avatar. Users have expressed a desire to make their profile pages more personal and reflective of their individual identities or brands.
Describe the solution you'd like
I propose implementing a feature that allows users to upload custom banner images for their profile pages. This feature would enable users to personalize their profiles further and make them more engaging and unique. Specifically, the feature should allow:
Uploading custom banner images directly from the user's device.
Adjusting the crop and fit of the uploaded image to ensure it looks good on the profile page.
Previewing the banner before finalizing the change.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be to offer a selection of pre-designed banner images that users can choose from. While this would provide some level of customization, it would not offer the same degree of personal expression as uploading a custom image.
Additional context
Customizing profile banners can significantly enhance the user experience by allowing for greater personalization. Social media platforms that offer this feature tend to see increased user engagement and satisfaction. Below are potential benefits and considerations:
User Engagement: Custom banners can help users feel more connected to the platform, encouraging them to spend more time interacting with others.
Branding Opportunities: For professional users or creators, custom banners offer an additional branding opportunity.
Implementation Considerations: Careful consideration will need to be given to the user interface and experience of uploading and editing banners, including aspect ratios, file sizes, and supported formats.
