If you don&#8217;t have the time to take a professional-looking picture, you can use a program like PhotoDirector. The program includes professional-grade features like sliders for brightness, tone, and color saturation. It also features guided tools and animation effects, sky replacement, light rays, and layer-editing. Fotor is a great choice for brands that need regular updates to their social content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternative_ways_to_create_a_Facebook_cover_photo\"><\/span>Alternative ways to create a Facebook cover photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to get more attention on Facebook, you need to make sure your cover photo reflects your business. If your business sells clothing, you could use an image of an athlete clinking a coke bottle to capture the attention of your target market. The same concept would work for other businesses and products. In-N-Out, for example, uses a cover video to promote their fast food franchise. The video plays on a loop, creating a mood and connection with the consumer.<\/p>\n<p>To make sure your cover photo looks good, you can crop and reposition it. The Facebook cover photo is 820 pixels by 462 pixels, so try to choose an image that takes up a quarter of the screen. Your cover photo is an excellent opportunity to introduce your brand to your followers and attract new ones. You can use free Facebook templates to create a custom photo for your business page. Besides, your cover photo acts as the headline for your profile, introducing your brand to potential customers.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to make a Facebook cover photo is by using free online photo editing software. You can use PicMonkey to create a cover photo for your Facebook profile. This software allows you to change the size and position of the image, add up to 20 percent text, and add other info. If you&#8217;re not a designer, you can try using free photo editing software like PicMonkey. By using a free online photo editing tool, you can create a stunning Facebook cover image.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recommendations_for_a_Facebook_cover_photo\"><\/span>Recommendations for a Facebook cover photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Choosing the perfect image for your Facebook cover photo can be a difficult task. You must consider the size of the image, as well as the size of your profile picture. Generally, the best image size for a Facebook cover photo is 1702 x 630 pixels at 72 dpi. Profile pictures, on the other hand, appear at 160 x 160 pixels. Your Facebook cover photo should be in RGB color mode and should highlight the image rather than text. Nevertheless, keep in mind that simple and effective does not mean boring.<\/p>\n<p>If you are running a business page, your Facebook cover photo should show off your products and services. A photo of your office is an excellent choice, as long as the image evokes a certain feeling. For example, a photo of your office is a good choice if your business offers consulting services or other services. It&#8217;s important to display your products in context and match the content of your page.<\/p>\n<p>Another important thing to keep in mind when choosing a Facebook cover photo is to place a call-to-action button. You can do this by placing a CTA button at the bottom right of the image. Facebook users are more likely to click on a button than on a profile picture, so a CTA button on the Facebook cover photo will be highly visible. However, keep in mind that arrows are not as effective on mobile devices, so keep these in mind when choosing an image for your cover photo.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recommendations_for_a_Facebook_cover_photo_size\"><\/span>Recommendations for a Facebook cover photo size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When designing your cover photo for Facebook, you need to consider how your image will look on different devices, such as desktop and mobile. For desktops, the recommended cover photo size is 820 pixels wide by 312 pixels, while for mobile devices, it&#8217;s 640 pixels by 360 pixels. Also, it should be a sRGB JPG file and be under 100 kilobytes. This size is important for mobile and desktop users, because the same image will appear on different ratios depending on the device.<\/p>\n<p>The dimensions of your Facebook cover photo need to fit its format, including the text and arrowheads. While it may seem tempting to include arrowheads or CTAs, these elements can appear aggressive and point to nowhere on mobile devices. Also, remember that your cover photo size should be between 400 pixels wide and 150 pixels tall, as Facebook will stretch images smaller than that to fit. If it&#8217;s not, your cover photo will end up blurry.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing a cover photo for Facebook is important for marketing purposes. You want to make your cover photo reflect your brand and your ideal buyer. If your cover photo has too many distracting elements, people will click away and not explore your content. The best Facebook cover photos feature a single focal point, negative white, and a unique Facebook element. The CTA button is a great example. The CTA button on your Facebook business page will stand out on a cover photo, so be sure it&#8217;s large enough to attract your audience.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"221\" width=\"396\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZvyB7tb5GcQ\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Make a Facebook Cover Photo?
