Create Facebook Cover Photos In Under 60 Seconds

Making Facebook covers shouldn't be a hassle...

...yet here you are, looking for a new way to whip up professional looking cover photos in record time. That’s because most alternatives come with major shortcomings.

Photoshop makes cover design a chore.

First, you need to figure out what image dimensions to use since Facebook loves to change things on the regular. Then you need to spend hours learning the software and navigating through a maze of features you don’t even need!

Graphic designers are expensive and slow.

Facebook covers should be updated regularly. But when you’re dealing with graphic designers, you need to wait for your request to reach the top of their to-do list, and that’s if you can even afford a designer.

Most web-based design tools are clunky and difficult to use.

Plus, the best photos and graphics in their libraries, the ones you would actually want people to see, cost extra.

Now there's a better way...
