Make your page stand out with a cover image

Your cover image is the first thing visitors will see on your page. It’s a fantastic way to express your unique style or brand. Plus, pages with a cover image tend to get more support. 🎨

    3. Select your image and... voilà! You're all set!

  Note

Remember, changing or removing your cover image is easy. Just click those three dots again and select "Set cover image".

 

Will it look good on mobile and desktop?

Your cover image will look great on both. It might get slightly cropped on the sides on mobile, but you don't need to resize it for different devices.

Text in your cover image

Try to keep your text away from the edges as images may be cropped on mobile views.
