Good afternoon,
To add an image header, you would need to change your theme to one that supports that option. Here is some additional information. Check out the theme showcase here to see a variety of options.Custom Header Image
Customization is a good thing. Many of the themes on WordPress.com feature an option which allows users to upload their very own custom image header to obtain a much more personalized look and feel. The use of this option is completely free, and you do not need to purchase an upgrade in order to change your header—as long as you’re using one of the themes that includes the option, of course.
Uploading a Custom Header Image
To get started, open the Customizer. Not familiar with the Customizer? Just click on My Sites in the admin bar and then click Customize in the sidebar. There, look for the Header Image section. (If you do not see this section, this means that your current theme does not support the use of a custom image header.) Here, you may choose between your own images—if you have recently uploaded any—and a selection of suggested images for your current theme if it has any. Want to add a new image instead? Easy! Just click Add New and you’ll be able to choose images from your blog’s media library or upload an image from your computer—just drag and drop. Once you’ve chosen an image, you can crop it to your liking, or you may skip this step if the size of the image fits your theme’s dimensions.Like what you see? Hit the Save button at the bottom right to apply changes. The image should appear immediately. If it does not, please contact Support. Be sure to provide a detailed description of the header image that you attempted to upload and/or attach the image file so that we can take a closer look.
I hope that helps!
