Celebrating 50 Days of Easter with Featured Cover and Profile Images
Social Media is a perfect place to keep the entire Easter season on the minds of our
parishioners. In addition to continuing to post Easter related photos, Scriptures, etc., do
not forget to set a seasonal profile picture, banner, or “cover” on each platform.
Recommendations for image sizes (as of February 2023, various sources*):
Facebook Profile Photo Image Size: 320 x 320 pixels
Facebook Page Cover: 820px by 360px (leaving margins as to show on mobile
view)

*Thanks to Social Pulse, Sprout Social, Status Brew, and HeyOrca! for the size
recommendations. Even with using Canva (and other graphic art programs) to create
images, it is good to check to make sure that the program is using the latest size
recommendations.
A template option for a Facebook cover has been posted for your use for those who use
Canva (drop your parish, school or agency logo in the circle with the cartoon cloud and
field, or delete it):
An image of your seasonal environment can also work well. Simply adding text like
“Happy Easter” will keep the spirit of the season top of mind for all who visit your page!
