📌 *UPDATE* : many of you followed the tutorial but couldn't upload the video to their Facebook page. It seems Facebook removed the option to use video in page covers for now. It was very well a thing when we created this tutorial, sorry for the inconvenience. Let's see if the feature comes back in the future 🤓 ^rh

[@lovedawnbrown]

Hi, I uploaded a cover photo and did it to spec that you outlined but when I look at the mobile version the profile photo is centred and blocks the majority of my cover photo. Can you help please

[@sarahbarendse8507]

ah, that explains it - I wish FB would quit changing things!

[@DrLizziT]

Thanks for the edit! xx

[@MickyWeir]

Hi! I'm wondering if this is still accurate? As there is no option to upload a video on Facebook anymore...

[@Ad_Journeyman]

Yes, that would interest me too

[@dervxerox]

I also can't find an option to upload a video as facebook cover.

@@canva Thanks for your response. It's a shame that feature does not exist anymore. However, I have still found some value from the optimised sizes for both desktop and mobile :)

wow, awesome. Love to try this one

[@AdventuresPlanned]

Ive seen TONS of videos that show how to do this via canvas desktop but nothing that shows how to do it from the canva mobile app. I dont have a desk top to use and only use Canva mobile app. All the templates on Canva are made with desktop dimensions and will not fit the mobile facebook correctly.. Is there any way a video can be made that shows how to make a facebook cover banner but done on CANVA MOBILE APP that will fit the facebook mobile apps as well?

[@elizabethwong6415]

Thank you. I tried and looks good on desktop view but image is blur on mobile view. Have you encountered this problem too? How do you solve it?

[@canva]

Hi Elizabeth, usually when the image looks pixalated the solution is to increase the size of the document. You could try multiplying the dimensions by 2x or even 3x. Sometimes it's just a question of waiting a minute or two after uploading the cover to Facebook. Let us know how it goes. ^rh

[@TheJiangsLife]

Thanks for this! It's very helpful :)

i have a private group, i dont want a video.. just want to add like a link or a button that will send the customer to a certain page.. is this possible

[@canva]

Facebook usually allows group owner to add specific buttons, but you'll have to choose from a few canned options. You should see that in the about section of your group. ^rh

[@musketeer3780]

This info is no longer relevant; Facebook now doesn't give a VIDEO option for the cover photo - only two options now for personal pages: "Create with avatar" and "Edit cover photo."

[@martinduffy3835]

OK had to really search the web for this fix. The dimensions in this video NEVER worked for me after an hour I gave up. But when I followed the advice of a guy who said the domensions were wrong did it work. I took the cover into my video editor and changed the dimensions to 1053 (w) x 396 (h) pixels THEN it worked. the directions here were right on for making sure the cell phone resize worked great.

First, upload it as a post. Then, when you’re ready to create your new FB cover, it will be available as a video file.
