How to Create a "Social Media Cover Photo"

Design branded cover images for your Facebook, LinkedIn and other social profiles.

Your cover photo is the first thing people see on your profile. Cover Photo templates give you a professional, branded banner sized for each platform, so your profiles look consistent everywhere.

This guide covers what is specific to Cover Photos. For the general editor steps, see How to Edit/Customize a Content Template.

How to Find Cover Photo Templates

  1. Select Content Templates from the left-hand menu.

  2. In the filter menu, look under Brand & Print and select Cover Photo.

  3. Or search for "Cover" or "Banner".

What You'll Find

  • Banner designs sized for Facebook, LinkedIn and other platforms.

  • Layouts that feature your headshot, logo, tagline and contact details.

Customizing Your Cover Photo

  • Headshot, logo and colors load from Brand Settings > Personal Branding.

  • Name, title and contact details come from Brand Settings > Display Information. Update them there first if anything is wrong.

  • Tagline: edit the text field to add your specialty or service area (for example, "Your Mississauga Condo Specialist").

  • Click Save at the top to keep your progress.

Download and Upload

  • Click Download to save your cover photo as a high-quality PNG.

  • Upload it manually in your Facebook or LinkedIn profile settings. Cover photos cannot be published through Share, because platforms only allow them to be set from the profile itself.

💡 Tip: keep important text away from the edges and the bottom-left corner. Platforms crop covers differently on mobile, and your profile picture overlaps part of the banner.
