However, keep in mind that it should be at least 820 pixels wide by 312 pixels tall. You can also try avoiding directional cues and using a desktop application or PicMonkey. Nevertheless, there are some golden rules that you should follow when choosing the size of your Facebook cover photo. Here they are:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"820_pixels_wide_by_312_pixels_tall\"><\/span>820 pixels wide by 312 pixels tall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want your Facebook cover photo to stand out from the crowd, you need to make sure it has enough negative space. It also needs to contain unique components, such as the CTA switch at the bottom right corner. This will draw the audience&#8217;s attention to the CTA switch and a call to action button in the text description. There are a few golden rules you should follow when creating your cover photo to ensure that it will fit perfectly on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>For the best results, you should use an image that is at least one minute long. Facebook&#8217;s cover photo space is oddly proportioned at 820 by 312 pixels. Unless you&#8217;re an expert in image editing, you might wind up with a Facebook cover that cropped out important details. Instead, try to use a free Facebook cover template to make sure that your image or video fits perfectly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoiding_directional_cues\"><\/span>Avoiding directional cues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When using arrowheads, avoid pointing them in a direction where they might look aggressive. Arrowheads will also not show up the same way on mobile, so you&#8217;ll risk confusing your mobile customers. Instead, use right-alignment photo objects to balance your cover photo layout. If you need to use directional cues, think of what your audience would like to see. For instance, an image that evokes the feeling of a team or company culture might work better than a product launch video. An example is a subscription management platform.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget that your Facebook cover photo is a big part of your page above the fold. If it doesn&#8217;t stand out, people may click away without even reading your content. A perfect cover photo includes one main focal point and negative white. This makes the subject, copy, and unique Facebook elements stand out. For example, a CTA button would stand out on a Facebook business page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_desktop_app\"><\/span>Using desktop app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Having a beautiful cover image that is proportional to the size of your Facebook page is critical. But sometimes the Facebook page&#8217;s layout changes, cutting off the photo. A perfect cover photo should stand out and be able to connect with your audience. Here are some golden rules to follow when creating a Facebook cover image. Your photo should convey a positive message about your business and be visually appealing.<\/p>\n<p>The dimensions of a Facebook cover photo must be at least 851 pixels by 315 pixels. A photo that is larger than this will be stretched by Facebook&#8217;s algorithm. If your cover photo is too small or too wide, you should resize it with a desktop app. This way, you can edit and reposition your photo as needed. And don&#8217;t forget that you can also use this tool to crop the photo manually.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_PicMonkey\"><\/span>Using PicMonkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you use PicMonkey to create your Facebook cover photo, you&#8217;ll be able to upload an image and adjust its size to fit the size that you want it to be. You can also choose from several different templates or use a blank canvas to design a cover photo that fits perfectly. Here are a few great tips to help you design a cover photo that&#8217;ll make the best impression.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, PicMonkey is a free tool that you can use to edit your photos. It allows you to easily change the color, size, and more &#8211; all changes will be instantly reflected in your cover photo. Using PicMonkey is easy enough even for those with no photo editing experience. It also comes with templates that are easy to edit. In addition to making Facebook cover photos look great, PicMonkey can also create Instagram covers.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uvNbnKt3SFU\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"426\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Make My Facebook Cover Photo Fit Perfectly?
