Free Tools for Making Your Own Facebook Timeline Cover

With the Facebook Timeline, users now have more options to customize their page through the selection of a cover photo. For businesses, this banner photo offers the chance to brand your page and to make a big impression when users first visit your page. While you can make a splashy cover image in Photoshop, not all of us have the skills to use the software or to create something professional and remarkable.
For the rest of us, there are several free tools available online to help put together a nice-looking, professional Facebook cover photo. Here are some of the best free tools for you to use:

Pagemodo

Start creating your free Facebook cover photo by choosing one of nine templates that show the photo layout. Then upload your own photos or choose from thousands of photos from Pagemodo's free image library. Add your custom text, and you have a beautiful, polished Facebook cover photo that is sure to get noticed.

5 best Free application Tools and websites for Making Your Own Facebook Timeline Cover

This application tool works right in your Facebook profile so you can make changes and upload your photo seamlessly. Like other applications, you start by clicking the template you like, which can be a layout for your photos or a background that allows you to insert your photos in fun cutout spaces. Add your photos, which are conveniently imported directly from your Facebook page. Save your photo, and it automatically uploads to your page.

There are many more great tools and useful websites available for creating stunning Facebook Timeline photos, including professional software like Photoshop. However, these free tools will help you to create great cover photos in just minutes and are easy to use.
