5 Best Websites to Create Facebook Timeline Cover Photos


If you are not a graphic design expert, you must be wondering how to create a Facebook Timeline cover and looking for easy alternatives to get custom Facebook cover photos. This has been made easier by some cool and handy Facebook Cover photo generator applications, we’ve also seen before how to create cover photo in Facebook using a Facebook application.
You can see a lot of services to create custom Facebook timeline covers, just Google and get a plethora of sites to do so. I used Cover Canvas and posted about it’s usage earlier before, but I found more free services which are worthy to give a try. Here are the best 5 Facebook Timeline Cover Generator websites:
  1. Cover Canvas
    CoverCanvas is a tool I covered fully in the past, and is a great option whether you want to use your own photos or someone else’s. With CoverCanvas, you can choose between custom covers and static covers. In custom covers, you can use your own profile pictures, with or without your name, and create a unique Timeline design using one of CoverCanvas’s layouts. With static covers, you can browse the many available categories, and find a photo to place in your Timeline.
  2. Timeline Cover Banner
    This application allows you to choose from different available backgrounds. Once you chose a background for your cover photo, it will bring you to the customization page, where you can put in custom text, resize background, modify its color values and brightness easily. Clicking “Done” will save the cover for you.
  3. Pic Scatter
    PicScatter is a nice collage tool which would have gained a better place on this list had it not included consistent nagging to buy the premium version (which is very affordable, around $2). The free version includes the collage layout you can see above, which you can fill with photos of your friends, photos you like, or photos from one of your own photo albums. You can give the collage a title, which will appear in white on black on the collage, along with the small Pic Scatter branding which is mandatory with the free version.
  4. Cover Junction
    You can start creating a custom cover for your Facebook by clicking the link which says Create a Facebook cover. Next, it will ask for logging in using your Facebook account, login and upload your pic to be used in the cover photo. Now follow the easy steps to generate the cover photo. You can also pick static cover photos on Cover Junction for a change.
  5. FaceItPages
    This service asks to create a free account before using it’s tools to create timeline covers. Just signup and follow the simple options to generate timeline covers.
