However, deciding which image to use is a bit more difficult. You should consider the purpose of your page when choosing a cover photo, as well as the size of your screen. Currently, there is a limited number of cover photos available on Facebook, so you&#8217;ll need to make some additional arrangements in order to make the right choice.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_find_cover_photos_on_Facebook\"><\/span>You can find cover photos on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cover photos on Facebook are important, particularly for creative and business pages. If you offer services that need visitors, a cover photo is essential to attract them. If you&#8217;re a photographer, for example, you should show off your best images. If you don&#8217;t have a good photo, consider putting a collage of pictures that showcase different kinds of photographs. You can use both images and text to describe your business.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve uploaded the photo, you can reposition or delete it. For personal pages, you can also choose from videos and create a slideshow. You can then drag the cover photo to position the image. It&#8217;s as easy as dragging and dropping! You can also search for stock images on Pexels. Just make sure to use the &#8220;Facebook cover&#8221; keyword when searching. If you can&#8217;t find a good photo, you can search for it on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_upload_your_own_image\"><\/span>You can upload your own image<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to use an image you already have on your computer, you can upload it to Facebook as a cover photo. There are a number of free photo-editing tools, like PicMonkey, that make creating Facebook cover photos easy. These tools let you crop, resize, and edit your own photos. They also have templates and tutorials that show you how to create these images. If you don&#8217;t have these tools, you can download them from the Internet and use them.<\/p>\n<p>Using Photoshop, you can edit your Facebook cover photo and change the text or color blocks to match your personality. Double-click on the text or color block to change its size or color. To insert a new image, first resize it and then upload it to Facebook. Once it is uploaded, click on the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button and make it visible in your cover photo. When you are done editing your cover photo, save it and repeat the process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_use_a_panoramic_image\"><\/span>You can use a panoramic image<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a new look for your Facebook cover photo, consider using a panoramic image. This format allows you to show an entire photo, rather than just a portion of it. While it doesn&#8217;t have the same effect as a full-screen image, a panoramic image is an eye-catching option. The new Facebook cover photo resizes much simpler. It may not look as good as a full-screen image, but the right design can make it a great way to attract new followers.<\/p>\n<p>There are many reasons why a panoramic image would make a great Facebook cover photo. First, it would be mobile-friendly. Secondly, you&#8217;d want your image to be large enough to be clearly recognizable. Thirdly, people who browse Facebook on mobile devices are more likely to view cover photos that are high-resolution. Lastly, it&#8217;d look more professional. You can use a panoramic image for Facebook cover photos to highlight your company&#8217;s products and services.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_add_a_caption_to_your_cover_photo\"><\/span>You can add a caption to your cover photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to include a caption with your Facebook cover photo, you can add a short text description. You can add a caption up to 100 characters in length. However, keep in mind that you should keep your cover photo primarily visual, with a strong focal point. Additionally, keep in mind that Facebook users tend to view your cover photo on mobile devices, so you should consider the way your photo will look on these devices.<\/p>\n<p>Your cover photo should reflect your brand&#8217;s personality. A simple image with a caption can communicate a lot about your business, your brand, and your personality. For example, if you sell a TV show, you can use your cover photo to highlight the show that you&#8217;re currently watching. Make sure to keep it short, and include only the most important information. If you have a local business, you might want to show off your location.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_use_a_graphic_or_a_photograph\"><\/span>You can use a graphic or a photograph<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When creating your Facebook cover photo, make sure to focus on the main product of your business. While a product photo may be appealing to the eye, it is not always informative and might confuse customers. If your business sells products, however, a product photo of your office is an excellent choice. In other words, make sure your cover photo shows the product in context and matches the page content.<\/p>\n<p>For a simple photo, you can use Photoshop. This tool allows you to make pixel-perfect representations of your image. The basic format for creating a Facebook cover photo is 820 x 462 px. Alternatively, you can use free design tools such as Canva to create an eye-catching, professional-looking image. Be sure to check the dimensions of your image before uploading it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_use_a_generic_image\"><\/span>You can use a generic image<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook cover photos are a great way to promote your creative skills. A good Facebook cover image will act as a personal billboard for your brand. Sandra Dieckmann, an artist, rotates her latest art pieces on her Facebook cover. Her creative style and skills are evident to all of her fans. If you are not an artist, don&#8217;t worry: you can use a generic image for Facebook cover photos.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can illustrate a specific feature or benefit of your product or service. For example, if your store sells a tool that can remove background and add text, you can illustrate this feature on your Facebook cover photo. Another alternative is to show off your office or store location. Another great idea is to use a video. A video can highlight your company&#8217;s culture, new product launch or award.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uaRD70EzqGg\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"302\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Choose Facebook Cover Photos If you&#8217;re thinking about changing the look of your Facebook page, changing your cover photo is a relatively simple process.
