Facebook has a feature that allows you to change your cover photo, so that it looks good on both desktop and mobile devices. In this article, we&#8217;ll show you how to create a good cover photo and avoid making common mistakes. Moreover, we&#8217;ll show you how to optimize your cover photo to make it look good on every platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optimize_your_cover_photo_for_desktop_and_mobile_devices\"><\/span>Optimize your cover photo for desktop and mobile devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Facebook covers are great for making your brand stand out, it&#8217;s difficult to balance creativity with the requirements of desktop and mobile devices. The dimensions of mobile and desktop screens are drastically different, so the same cover photo on either device will look different. Here are some tips for optimizing your cover photo for both mobile and desktop. Keep in mind that your cover photo will not be displayed properly on mobile devices unless it&#8217;s sized correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Your cover photo shouldn&#8217;t contain too much text. If you&#8217;re using a high-quality image, it should speak for itself without any text. Overly colorful images or a lot of text may give users a headache and will make your page look sloppy. Use PNG or JPEG images to avoid these problems. Make sure your cover photo is at least 851 pixels wide by 315 pixels tall.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_great_cover_photo\"><\/span>Create a great cover photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to create a great cover photo on Facebook, consider the size and shape of the image. Make sure it&#8217;s a square and has the proper dimensions for Facebook. It should also be full-color and include a small block of text. Bright colors will stand out in feeds, and brand colors will establish a visual connection with your audience. If you&#8217;re unsure what to do, check out some examples below.<\/p>\n<p>Use a call to action to direct people to your site or product. Include a simple call to action that encourages them to subscribe, buy, or email. Incorporate a call to action in your Facebook cover photo if it&#8217;s appropriate for your business. A good example of this is the cover photo of YouTube star Yolanda Gampp. This cover photo features a book cover over the Watch Video CTA.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_common_cover_photo_mistakes\"><\/span>Avoid common cover photo mistakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t make common cover photo mistakes when changing photo on Facebook. First, choose an image that is visually appealing and easily readable. Don&#8217;t use distracting colors for the background or text. Text is clickable and should be in a minimal ratio to the image. Also, avoid putting too many words in the cover photo. It will make the image look cluttered and unprofessional. Instead, keep the text short and simple.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a text-based cover photo, make sure you have the text in a place where it will not be cut off when changing devices. Choose a photo that sets you apart from your competitors. Make your cover photo a focal point that draws in your audience and encourages them to take a specific action. Don&#8217;t forget to check for any other common mistakes when changing photo on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_a_cover_photo_that_appeals_to_everyone\"><\/span>Make a cover photo that appeals to everyone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to make a cover photo that appeals to all people on Facebook, it&#8217;s imperative that it&#8217;s visually appealing and easily readable. Keep in mind that most people use their smartphones to access Facebook pages. Small-size images won&#8217;t be readable on their small screens, so make sure to include a large font so that your audience can easily read your special slogan or message.<\/p>\n<p>In the caption, be sure to include a call-to-action that will direct viewers to your landing page. This could be a simple click-through, or it can be something more specific, like an opt-in freebie or a new book. You can even create a visual queue for your cover photo, so people can follow it without having to click through multiple pages to see your content.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pFLZJe3JdeA\" width=\"434\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"243\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Cover Photo on Facebook If you want to change your cover photo on Facebook, you need to know how to do it.
