'Titelbild' (cover image) is a compound noun made up of 'der Titel' (the title) and 'das Bild' (the picture/image). It refers to the image on the title page, that is, the front page of a publication. The gender comes from the head word 'das Bild'.

The meaning is clear from the context. In connection with 'Zeitschrift' (magazine), 'Magazin' (magazine), or 'Buch' (book), it means the cover. In the context of 'Profil' (profile), 'soziale Netzwerke' (social networks), or verbs like 'hochladen' (to upload), it means the banner image.
Das Foto auf dem Titelbild der Zeitschrift hat eine Debatte ausgelöst.
The photo on the cover of the magazine sparked a debate.
For the front page of publications, there are typical expressions such as 'auf dem Titelbild sein' (to be on the cover) or the expression of success 'es auf das Titelbild schaffen' (to make it onto the cover).

In the context of social networks, 'Titelbild' (cover photo) is often combined with verbs like 'ändern' (to change), 'aktualisieren' (to update), 'hochladen' (to upload), or 'verwenden' (to use).

'das Cover' and 'das Titelbild' can be very close in meaning when talking about newspapers, magazines, or books. 'Cover' means the whole designed front side, for example the image, title, lettering, and layout. 'Titelbild' more specifically means the image on this front side. The words can be confused because the 'Titelbild' is often the most important part of the cover. If you mean the whole front side, use 'Cover'. If you are only talking about the photo or image on it, 'Titelbild' is more precise.
Auf dem Titelbild der Zeitschrift ist eine bekannte Schauspielerin zu sehen.
A famous actress can be seen on the magazine's cover image.
Das Cover der Zeitschrift ist sehr bunt und auffällig.
