💡 Design Tips
📱 Design for mobile first — on mobile, the cover shows at 640×360 and the profile picture overlaps the bottom-left.
🎯 Keep critical text and logos in the center area to avoid clipping on different devices.
🖼️ Use high-resolution images — Facebook will compress, so start at 2x resolution (1702×630) if possible.
🎨 Simple, bold compositions work better than busy designs — covers appear small on mobile feeds.
