How to design a Facebook cover photo

Design an on-brand Facebook cover photo with your brand name from a text prompt with Morphic.

What is a Facebook cover photo?

A Facebook cover photo is the wide banner across the top of a page or profile. It usually carries the brand name and a supporting visual so a visitor recognizes the business the moment the page loads. Businesses and creators rely on it because a clean, on-brand cover sets the tone and looks credible next to the profile picture.

With Morphic you create a cover photo from a text prompt in your browser. Describe your brand name, the look you want, and your colors, then adjust and download in HD. You get a polished, correctly sized banner without opening design software or waiting on a designer.

1.

Set the brand and message

Decide the brand name and any short supporting line the cover should show. Write that text before you generate so the banner has a clear focus.

2.

Describe the layout

Open Morphic and describe a wide cover with your brand name and a supporting visual, leaving space where the profile picture overlaps the lower left. Ask for a wide banner ratio so it fits the Facebook cover slot.

3.

Apply your brand look

Ask for your brand colors, a font style that reads clearly, and a layout that keeps key text away from the overlap zone. Keep contrast high so the brand name stands out at the top of the page.

4.

Generate versions to choose from

Produce two cover layouts for the same brand with different arrangements or emphasis so you can pick the one that reads best. A quick comparison often reveals which layout frames the brand name most cleanly.

5.

Check placement and export

Preview each layout and confirm the brand name stays clear of the profile picture and page controls. Download in HD, then upload it as your Facebook cover.

Two cover-photo layouts for the same brand, each with the brand name text.
