Guide to creating the cover of the Facebook diary or Timeline profile and sites to download beautiful images

Since both the cover image and the profile image are our business cards, better spend a few more minutes following the suggestions described in the following chapters, so as to create a really nice profile to visit and look at. The cover always remains public and it is the only Facebook element visible to everyone, even to non-friends who happen to be on your page.
The cover doesn’t have to be a photo, you can upload any image, for example, you can load a slide created with PowerPoint and saved as an image or a screenshot, a text or many other things.
The ideal image to upload as a cover is size 820 x 310 px therefore, any photo, to be displayed correctly, should have such dimensions or, at least, of same proportions. For the profile picture instead we recommend a photo or a minimum image 180 x 180 px, better if slightly larger.
If the measurements are not found and we want to fix it, we recommend using the free FastStone Photo Resizer program.
We upload the photo we intend to use as a cover or profile image on Facebook, we apply the check mark on Use Advanced Options and press on Advanced Options. From this new menu let’s go to the tab Resize, we check the items Resize, In Pixels e Preserve Aspect Ratio and insert the pixel values indicated at the top in the fields New Width e New Height.
We confirm below on OK and, back in the home screen, click on Convert to start converting the photos.
To resize the photos or images on our PC (to adapt them to use on Facebook), we can also use one of the programs recommended in our guide to Programs for resizing photos and reducing the size of images.
A good way to get a beautiful profile is to combine cover and profile in a coherent and spectacular way.
To customize your cover in a fun and creative way, if you are not an expert in Photoshop, you can use the automatic function of the Facebook photo editor, which offers all the tools you need to crop your photo or add two “coincident” photos.
Within the Ribbet editor (recommended in the guide above) just select Cover which crops a photo with the exact dimensions for the profile cover.
If we are looking for other free programs or online sites to create spectacular cover images, we can visit the recommended sites below:
Other helpful resources can be found in our guide on how Make the original Facebook cover with photos adapted and combined.
There are also some websites where you can find images already cut out and drawn in an imaginative way or with some of the most desired themes (motorcycles, cars, stylists etc.). All we have to do is choose a new image, customize it with the editor (even automatically) and finally load it as a cover on the profile.
The best sites to find Facebook covers I’m:
On paper we can use any background or wallpaper in HD as a cover, just resize them as seen in the first chapter of the guide! Other nice wallpapers to use as a cover image on Facebook can be found in our guide on how Download desktop wallpapers for PC in high definition (HD and 4K).
With the tools made available in this guide we will be able to create beautiful cover images and beautiful profile photos, with a touch of personality and fun.
Always to stay on the subject of the Facebook profile, in the guide to Online app to create images for social networks, Facebook, sites and blogs we have seen together which apps we can use on smartphones to create useful images on social networks.
As we know it is also possible to change Facebook profile photo temporarily and use a video as a Facebook profile picture.
If, on the other hand, we are looking for a way to send and upload photos from a PC, we recommend reading the guide on how Send and upload photos and images to Facebook from PC with programs and extensions.
