How to make a Facebook Cover photo

This is so easy and you too can have a cool Facebook cover photo.

I thought about doing screen shots and cutting and pasting all the steps, but that can get confusing for you. The easiest way is for me to do a video tutorial so you can see where I’m clicking and I can talk you through some options.

 …..

…..
A Facebook Cover Photo should be 851 x 315 in size.
A Facebook Profile Image should be 180 x 180 in size.

Now go ahead and make yourself a blog banner too! The best size for a blog banner is no bigger than 1000 x 300.

Good luck!

    You are the best!
    I will sit down and do this tonight as today I am taking a broom up to the house block and cleaning it up while the boys are ball boys for QCup and my daughter is at work.
    Have a great day

    Going to watch this tomorrow when I’ve had more sleep (had a work function last night!) and the kids are at school.

    katrina, you have no idea how much that helped me! I actually lost interest in blogging for months purely because I couldnt change any part of my blog and became very frustrated. I followed your suggestions and created a new header…very bright but exactly what I wanted.Its already up and running now.
    Thankyou xxx ooo xxx

    This is a great way to do the cover photo. Thanks for the quick and easy to follow steps. Watching the video was nicer then trying to interpret screen dumps too. Thanks. =)

  • Karen@RestyledVintage

    thanks so much for that Katrina, I had previously used Picasa but picmonkey is so much easier!

    Thank you for this…you know I am not tech savvy at all. This would work the same for etsy’s banners wouldn’t it?
    Thanks lovely.

      Yes! Make it 760×100

  • Megan

    Hooray! Thanks Katrina! I will be on to this first thing in the morning 🙂 x

  • Jane

    Thanks, Katrina – you’re a legend. Like Ness, I’m wondering if this would work for an Etsy banner. J x

    • Katrina (author)

      Yes! Make it 760×100 🙂

    I was devastated when Picnik closed down, but was so grateful that a friend showed me PicMonkey. I love that you can use it for cover photos too. Makes life so much easier for anyone wanting simple photo editing and collage making.I used it to make a cover photo for my Mum’s cake decorating page too.

  • Deb

    Thank you Katrina, you are a legend. I was about to make something for Mr M and I could not for the life of me work out how to get the text on the collage. I am enjoying playing around with picmonkey. I love your tutorials you make it all seem easy. Mmmwahh

    What an awesome post, thanks for sharing Katrina. This was so easy and now I have a fabulous new facebook cover image all thanks to you.

    Have a great weekend! xxx

    Thanks so much for this! I always appreciate your openness and willingness to help other bloggers and those using social media – for those still learning it’s the chance to ‘stand on the shoulders of giants!’ I’ve made three of these now and shared the idea with two my older kids…and I have to say my 13 year old picked up on stuff I missed the first couple of times I watched it. He got it! I was a bit slower…but I’ve got it now 😉 Thanks Katrina! You rock! Have an awesome time away! xxx

    Thank you so much, this was brilliant, I didn’t even know PicMonkey existed. It is amazing the professional look a small getting started business can have with a little help.

    Warmest regards,
    Melissa x
