Make a cover photo

A cover photo will be displayed as landscape position.

First step is Crop, to give the Photo a landscape format. The Photo is still way too big so we will need to Resize it.

For the resize part, make sure the "Lock aspect ratio" checkbox is checked before changing anything. Then adjust the width of your photo, minimum 1440px but shouldn't be more than 2000px. make sure height is always more than 400px.

Final step is Save, Clic on Save > Computer. Make sure JPG format is selected and adjust the quality slider.

As you adjust the quality you will see the final size of the file.
