The process is so easy, you can even change it if you&#8217;re a 4 year old. Once you&#8217;ve selected the new photo, just hit &#8220;save&#8221; to save it. It&#8217;s that simple! But before you change your cover photo, let&#8217;s take a look at how to make your profile picture private or change it to another image.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_banner_graphic\"><\/span>Create a banner graphic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to change or add a new cover photo, you should create a banner graphic to accompany it. Humans tend to remember images for three days or more. A well-chosen banner will convey the essence of your brand and be easily recognizable to your audience. To make it more appealing, you can hire a graphic designer or use a free online banner maker.<\/p>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to create an appealing banner graphic for Facebook is to use an image creation tool like Canva. It is easy to use and offers a lot of options to help you design the perfect banner. Another option is Adobe Sparks, which allows you to create striking Facebook cover photos for free. You can also use Bannersnack, which has a range of templates and an easy drag-and-drop feature where you can add text and images. You can even use millions of stock photos and animations to make your Facebook cover photo stand out.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upload_a_photo\"><\/span>Upload a photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To update your Facebook cover picture, all you have to do is visit your profile and click on &#8220;Edit profile.&#8221; In the menu that appears, click &#8220;Edit cover photo.&#8221; Choose the one that you want to update or upload from your computer. You can also choose from the gallery of stock images or create a collage by selecting several photos. Then, click &#8220;Save and share.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The cover photo is one of the most prominent aspects of your Page. It must be a high-resolution image, approximately 400 x 150 pixels, and less than 100 KB. If you&#8217;re using text, make sure it fits within those dimensions. Remember that you can always turn your cover photo private if it is older. If you&#8217;re using a logo or &#8220;real-life&#8221; images, it&#8217;s best to save them as a JPG or PNG.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_a_video_as_your_cover_photo\"><\/span>Set a video as your cover photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to set a video as your cover photo on Facebook is to use an online video creation tool. These programs allow you to make a Facebook cover video by combining several scenes. Then, upload your video using the appropriate settings. Alternatively, you can use a photo or an image. To set a video as your cover photo, follow the steps below. Here are some tips to make it work for you.<\/p>\n<p>Using a video as your cover photo on Facebook will draw people to your page. It can be a fun way to share clips of brand events or the best parts of a concert. Spotify, for example, uses a video cover to show highlights of their recent concert with Rolling Stone. This is especially useful for new brands &#8211; most of these companies struggle to explain their brand to their audience, and this is where a video cover will work wonders.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_your_profile_picture_private\"><\/span>Make your profile picture private<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your Facebook privacy settings, you can choose to make your profile picture private from other users. To do so, tap the icon in the top-right corner of your screen. Scroll down and select Edit Privacy. From here, you can choose the privacy level for any posts. You can also choose to make your profile picture private from all people. However, make sure that you do not set it to private for friends. You do not want people to see your profile picture without your consent.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most common reasons to keep your profile picture private on Facebook is privacy. Nowadays, privacy is an important issue, but our unconscious tends to leak information online, including our profile pictures. By keeping them private, you reduce the chances of pornography and harassment. Nevertheless, if you are a photographer, this is probably the best way to maintain your privacy. If you aren&#8217;t sure how to do it, read on to find out how to make your profile picture private.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZZDG1h9A_cY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"402\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Add Or Change My Cover Photo on Facebook?
