What You Should Know
- Nuts and Bolts
Before you begin anything, you should make sure that whatever media you’re uploading is compatible with the site. Nothing looks more unprofessional than skewed or warped photos.
- Sizes for Desktop and Mobile
Here’s a pretty easy guide that can let you know what is the best Cover Photo that fits both sizes well. Remember that you want a photo that can fill up both but still doesn’t lose any of its meaning when you should resize Facebook cover photo to fit on your users’ computers or phones.
Remember to keep that size under 100 KB!
Also, remember
- Your cover cannot be misleading, misleading
- Infringes on someone’s copyright
- Cannot encourage others to upload your cover to their timelines
- Don’t include third party products, brands or sponsors within your Page’s cover photo or Facebook profile picture.
- Resonate With What You Do
Now, to design your Cover Photo, you want to make sure that your customers can get an idea of who you are just from the cover photo alone. Remember that we process pictures a ton faster than text, so make sure your pictures are worth at least 1,000 words. Let’s look at some examples to get an idea of what to do.
Shazam does a really good job of making their Facebook Cover Photo resonate with what they do. The
slideshow is easy for advertisers to use and engaging for people. Here are the details of making Facebook slideshows.
Freshly does a really good job of showing you what they’re all about with a simple photo. That looks like the most picturesque meal and dinner table, and I can’t wait to take a bite!
- Resonate With Your Content
This can be a bit trickier, but make sure that your cover photo will resonate with what you are posting on your Facebook page. If you’re using it as a way to tell folks your behind-the-scenes processes, then consider featuring your office space (if it’s photogenic) or consider a picture of your team and let your audience create an emotional connection with them.
Don’t forget lighting! It can make all the difference between your product looking appealing and looking downtrodden and dreary.
Don’t forget context. Don’t add in extra, frivolous images into your picture. If you’re a photographer, make sure you have photography equipment or your specialty. Don’t add in extra stuff that isn’t really related to what you do.
