Additional main media images let you attach extra image types to a category – such as a vertical image, logo, cover photo, or eye catcher – alongside its standard main image. This guide walks you through adding them. ### **Key benefits:** 1. Visual appeal: strengthen a category's presentation with dedicated images for different placements, including "vertical\_image," "logo," "cover\_photo," and "eye\_catcher." 2. User engagement: eye-catching visuals help keep visitors engaged with your content for longer. 3. Branding: reinforce your brand identity by placing logos and cover photos consistently within your category pages. ### Adding additional main media images to a category: **Step 1:** In the left sidebar, under **OTHER**, select **Categories**, then select **Edit** next to the category you want to update. ![Categories listing in CMS 4.8.0: Categories selected under OTHER, New Category and Edit permissions buttons, and the draggable category tree (Football with child Bundesliga, Basketball, Tennis, Ice Hockey, American Football, Rugby, Handball...), each row with Edit and delete buttons. The Football Edit button is outlined in red.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/listing/categories-default.png?width=900&name=categories-default.png) **Step 2:** On the category's edit screen, expand the **Media** tab on the right and select **Add additional image in media**. This option appears only on the edit screen of an existing category, not when you create a new one, and only if additional main media images are enabled for your project. **Step 3:** In the **Item sub type** field, choose the image sub type you want to include for the category, such as Vertical Image, Logo, Cover Photo, or Eye Catcher. The available sub types depend on your project's setup. **Step 4:** Upload or select the image for that sub type. Make sure the image meets the recommended specifications for optimal display. **Step 5:** Edit or crop the image if needed to get the result you want. **Step 6:** Select **Add** once you're done configuring the image for that sub type. **Step 7:** Save the category to apply the additional main media images.   **Summary:** repeat these steps for each image sub type you want to configure. Once saved, the additional images are available to your front end alongside the category's standard main image. - [Introduction to Sportal365](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/introduction-to-sportal365?hsLang=en#main-content) -
