Customize a Facebook Cover Template in Photoshop

Source-checked 2 August 2026About 10 minutes

Answer

Download and license the Facebook banner PSD, replace its images, background, and text, proof the design, then export and upload it as a cover photo.

License and download the template

Use the optional sponsored template link retained on this page only if you want the same starting design shown in the video. Envato licenses each template download for one specific project, so download it while signed in, associate it with the intended end product, and keep the license record. The written workflow also applies to a compatible PSD with equivalent editable layers.

Review Envato's project-license rules

Extract the complete download

Find the downloaded ZIP file. In Windows, choose Extract All; in macOS, double-click the ZIP. Keep the extracted folder intact because Facebook Banner Template may include linked assets, font information, previews, or instructions alongside the PSD. Duplicate the folder or PSD before editing so the licensed original remains available if a layer is accidentally replaced.

Open and inspect the PSD

Open a working copy of the extracted Facebook Banner PSD that best matches the layout you want. Let Photoshop finish loading, then inspect the Layers panel before changing anything. Expand the named groups, note which layers are hidden or locked, and read any included instructions. Do not flatten the document. If Photoshop reports missing fonts, use a font supplied or linked by the template author when licensed, or deliberately substitute one you are allowed to use.

Open the designated editable content

Expand the “Images” group and open the first designated image Smart Object; use the separate “Details” > “Title” content for the main wording. Adobe's supported route is to select the Smart Object and choose Layer > Smart Objects > Edit Contents; many templates also open it when you double-click its thumbnail. Work in the separate content tab that appears, not directly over the rendered mockup, unless the template's own instructions say otherwise.

Replace the placeholder artwork

Place an image you own inside the opened image content, fit it to the canvas, and save so the main banner updates. Repeat for each required image placeholder. Hide unused sample layers with their visibility controls instead of flattening the PSD. For the background, place or edit the designated background layer below the main image content.

Replace the title, fonts, colours, and supporting details

Open the Details and Title groups, replace every sample text layer, and adjust font, colour, and size without losing hierarchy. If Photoshop reports a missing font, consult the template's included documentation and use that font only when its license permits, or choose a licensed substitute. Review any additional shapes and decorations and remove sample details you do not need.

Save, review, and troubleshoot the result

Use File > Save in the opened Smart Object or content document, then return to the main Facebook Banner Template document. Photoshop should refresh the effect. Proof all wording, then inspect the composition for alignment, contrast, and cropping. Facebook cover photos are public, so remove private contact details, hidden personal data, and any unlicensed image before export. If nothing changes, confirm that you edited the designated Smart Object, saved its content document, and did not replace or rasterize the effect-bearing layer.

Keep a master PSD and export a delivery copy

Save the layered document under a new name so the original template remains untouched. Then use File > Save a Copy for a delivery file. Choose PNG when transparency is required, or JPEG when the finished design has an opaque background. Check dimensions, cropping, spelling, colour, and image rights in the exported file before publishing or sending it.
