How to Design a Facebook Cover Photo

Ready to create your own eye-catching Facebook Cover? To get started, head to the Graphic Designer. In the Templates library, navigate to Social Media, followed by Facebook Cover.

From here, simply click on a design that takes your fancy, then hit Use This Template to begin.

First up, we’re going to swap out the template’s existing image for one representing your own personality or brand. To do this, click on the image you wish to swap, and an Image Properties toolbar appears. Click Replace to open an image from your own files.

Alternatively, if you wish to use a stock image, you can navigate to Image Manager in the main menu to the left, followed by Search Stock Images. This gives you access to BeFunky’s huge library of stunning stock photos, all of which are free for commercial or personal use. Just type your search term into the search bar, then click on the image(s) you’d like to add to your Image Manager for use in your template.

Now that your image is in place, it’s time to edit the existing text to what you want to say on your profile. Feel free to add a quote, or even just your name! 

You’ll also notice that when you select a text box, a Text Properties toolbar appears. From here, you can change the Font of your text by selecting one from BeFunky’s long list. Alternatively, you can click the ‘+’ icon to upload a font from your own computer’s files or Google Fonts. You can also change the color of your font using a color from the Color Palette.  Enter the HEX Color Code or use the Eyedropper Tool to select a color already present in your template.

It’s time to add some fun graphics! Find the Graphics tab on the left-hand menu and click on Search Graphics. 

Now you can enter your search terms to find some fun graphics to add to your cover photo. Click and drag the graphics from the left-hand menu on to your image to place them where you’d like to. To change the color of your graphics, enter the HEX Color Code or use the Eyedropper Tool to select a color already present in your template.

Once you’ve finished editing your Facebook Cover, it’s time to save it so it’s ready to share with the online world. Click Save at the top of the screen and select your desired save location.
