A cover photo is an image on a Facebook profile. Unlike a profile picture, cover photos are large banner graphic that introduces visitors to an individual or brand. Facebook cover photos appear exclusively on your individual Facebook timeline. This means your followers will need to visit your profile to see them.

When used correctly, your cover image can leave a lasting impact on your audience – so take advantage of it and put the effort into creating an image that shows off your personality, and inspires people to check out the rest of your content.
