Today we will be creating a cover photo for a Facebook page:

  • Height: 315 (NOT Inches)
  • Resolution: 100 PPI (Pixels Per Inch)
Here is the cover photo I created for my Facebook:




 Notice, however, that you have to keep your profile picture in mind when designing your picture:




1. Decide on a background color or image.  To use a solid color select the Paint Bucket and chose a color from the color spectrum and CLICK on white canvas to change color.




2. To use an image as a background OPEN the image in Paint.Net.  

2. Re-size the image to 851 Width 315 Height.  Be sure to make sure the box Maintain aspect ration is unchecked.




3.  Open up 5 - 6 images you would like to have inserted into your Facebook Header.
