Ford on Facebook with matching cover photo and profile image.

A matching Facebook cover photo and profile picture looks professional and exciting.  Look at the Ford one here – see the large image becomes the background behind the smaller logo picture?  Cute!

You can do so many things with it such as making your Facebook followers laugh or just to make your profile look professional. But how do you line up the two images and make it work? Read on.

How to line up Facebook cover photo with a profile picture

1. Screenshot your Facebook profile page: The first step is to take a screenshot of your profile page for size reference. Paste this screenshot into  PowerPoint or a similar programme where you can CROP the screenshot. We’ll be using our client, Rowperfect, as an example:

2. Crop your chosen picture into two images: now that you have your profile screenshot and have pasted it into  PowerPoint you can begin cropping your desired image. Detailed instructions follow this image…follow steps 1-4 frame by frame below.cropping

  • FRAME 1: mark your cover photo and your profile photo. The blue rectangle we’ve created represents the cover photo size area and the red square represents the profile picture. Remember to paste the screenshot exactly as it is and do not re-size it, even though it is larger than the PowerPoint work area.
  • FRAME 2: import the image you want as your combined profile picture and cover photo. Then re-size it so it is as big as the blue and red rectangle combined. Line it up as you wish.
  • FRAME 3: duplicate your now re-sized imported image, place it in the same location as its original and crop your imported image and its duplicate to be the size of the blue rectangle and red square respectively.
  • FRAME 4: now you have your two images, save the big one as COVER PHOTO and the smaller square one as PROFILE PICTURE.

3. Place them on your Facebook profile page: now you have your two images you can place the PROFILE PICTURE image on your Facebook profile picture and use the COVER PHOTO image as your Facebook profile cover. If all is done correctly your Facebook profile cover photo and profile picture will now line up together and look flash, just like the Rowperfect Facebook page!

    Yes King there would be. Sadly there is no way to link Facebook profiles and cover photos for all devices.

    HOWEVER, you certainly could do something general. For example if you take a picture of yourself underwater and made your cover photo very watery it would match quite well.

    Cheers – Theo

    When I do this my profile picture is 160×160 but a facebook profile picture must be at least 180×180 so how would that work?

    Some tips i have seen in terms of laptop memory is the fact that there are technical specs such as SDRAM, DDR etc, that must fit in with the technical specs of the mother board. If the pc’s motherboard is reasonably current while there are no computer OS issues, replacing the memory space literally requires under sixty minutes. It’s one of the easiest laptop upgrade processes one can envision. Thanks for revealing your ideas.

    Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. But think about if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this blog could certainly be one of the very best in its field. Amazing blog!

    Good post. I study one thing more difficult on completely different blogs everyday. It’ll always be stimulating to read content from other writers and follow a bit something from their store. I?d prefer to make use of some with the content material on my weblog whether or not you don?t mind. Natually I?ll give you a hyperlink in your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.

    Many thanks for your post. I’d prefer to comment that the cost of car insurance varies widely from one plan to another, simply because there are so many different issues which play a role in the overall cost. As an example, the model and make of the vehicle will have a significant bearing on the purchase price. A reliable outdated family vehicle will have a more affordable premium when compared to a flashy sports vehicle.

    I have figured out some new issues from your web page about pcs. Another thing I’ve always presumed is that computers have become an item that each home must have for some reasons. They supply you with convenient ways to organize the home, pay bills, search for information, study, focus on music and in many cases watch tv programs. An innovative approach to complete many of these tasks is with a notebook computer. These personal computers are mobile ones, small, potent and convenient.

    Thanks for your posting. Another point is that being a photographer entails not only difficulties in capturing award-winning photographs but also hardships in establishing the best photographic camera suited to your requirements and most especially hardships in maintaining the standard of your camera. This really is very accurate and obvious for those professional photographers that are in capturing the nature’s eye-catching scenes — the mountains, the actual forests, the wild or seas. Going to these amazing places undoubtedly requires a dslr camera that can live up to the wild’s tough surroundings.
