# Authors

> Add, reorder, and display article authors and portraits in frontmatter or the web editor.

Set `authors` in each article's frontmatter. Keep each author's name and optional
portrait together:

```yaml theme={null}
authors:
  - name: "Maya Chen"
    image: "https://images.example.com/maya.png"
  - name: "Jo Park"
    image: "https://images.example.com/jo.png"
```

Authors appear in array order. Article bylines show names and portraits and wrap
on smaller screens. Listing cards use compact bylines. Omit an author's `image`
to show just their name. Portraits can use local paths for CLI previews and
standalone builds; [deployment](https://www.lettercamp.com/docs/publishing/deploy.md#local-images-and-cloud-assets)
uploads supported local images automatically.

Bylines show up to two author names on desktop and one on mobile. Additional
authors appear behind a **+ more** button that opens the full author list.

* Omit `authors` to show no authors.
* Set `authors: []` to show no authors.
* Set a populated array to show those authors for that article.

Authors belong to individual posts. Site settings do not provide default authors
or portraits.

In the web editor, open **Page metadata** and use **Authors** to edit names,
add or replace photos, and add, remove, or reorder authors. Photo uploads also
accept HTTPS image URLs. Removing the last author hides the byline's authors.
