Facebook cover photos

Facebook cover photos are a complicated animal – they can be fuzzy, boring, or rule-breaking if done poorly. Today, we are highlighting 11 creative Facebook cover photos from Cover Photo Finder, which offers thousands of cover photos free for download. When visiting the site and scrolling through the images, you can click “use this cover photo,” and log in through Facebook, but if you don’t want to give permissions to the app, all you have to do is right click on your chosen image, and click “open image in new tab,” which will automatically save the image to your computer. Then, manually upload the image to your Facebook profile or page.

We’ve shared hundreds of inspirational cover photos (“25 fresh Facebook cover photos to inspire your own,” “50 Facebook timeline covers: examples, best practices,” “50 more timeline covers,” and “50 brands using timeline cover photos“), and given tips on how to format your Facebook cover photo to be less fuzzy, and showed you tools on creating your own timeline cover photo (PicMonkey’s drag and drop collage feature, an iPhone app that helps create cover photos, and a Photoshop template for custom designed cover photos), and informed you as to extra reasons that your cover photo actually matters.

Most importantly, though, when you’re selecting a cover photo, there are many rules that could result in your profile or page being permanently deleted without warning, so get to know them before making any adjustments.
