Most photographers I know have a Facebook page that they keep updated regularly. And with 8 gazillion users (I'm guestimating here :), your clients will most likely have their own Facebook profiles they update regularly. With the most shared thing on Facebook being images I figured it was about time to give photographers a new way to showcase their photos and bring some originality to the standard single images being shared.
Now, of course you can put your logo onto a standard sized photo and share it on Facebook, or send it to your client for them to share. But often times these images are uploaded as cover photos which don't fit the horizontal landscape size or they are shared on the timeline and cut-off again. This can be frustrating and for people who scroll through timelines, images can be quickly overlooked.
Another issue is that some clients (not all) will want to share low-res photos that you gave to them on a disk for proofing purposes on Facebook, which end up looking bad and either have zero branding on them or they've been cropped off. It's sad, but it does happen.
Now what if you provided unique and perfectly sized graphics your clients could use immediately on their Facebook profiles? Do you think your clients would use any of the graphics below once they are customized with their new photos from their photo shoot? Do you think they'd be excited to use something customized for them, over standard images you probably already send? I think so.

I signed up and confirmed my subscription but still no link to download these.. ? am i missing something?
Hi Jeff, I love these Facebook templates so let me start off by saying thank you!
Is there an optimum sized jpg that you would use when uploading the images to be used? I’ve tried several different sizes (From above 6MB to 1MB) and they look very pixelated, especially so when you zoom in, even just a little. I’m guessing it’s got some thing to do with me putting images that are 300ppi onto a template that is 72ppi for web? Get the idea why things become more pixelated but not sure how to avoid it. Yours on the video look way more crisp that mine. Help. Thanks Kim
Hi Kim, my guess is that you are putting too much compression on your jpegs when you save them for the web from Photoshop. Save them at 100% compression, which I believe is “very high” when you go to “Save for Web” in Photoshop. It’s great to start out with high res photos, but ultimately they’ll all be saved as jpegs… so the higher res you start out with the clearer your images will be when you save them for the web. Hope that helps.
Oh, and if you’re just using “Save As” in Photoshop just select no compression when it asks. Facebook does their own image compression when you upload images, so you don’t really have to compress jpegs before you upload them.

Hi there! I purchased your templates and they are fabulous! One question — do you know how to make them responsive so they will work for tablets and mobile devices? Facebook makes it difficult because they are all different sizes. Thanks for your work!
Hi Lori, thanks for purchase! As far as I know FB allows you to upload one size for your cover photo and then they control how the images are cropped or resized for mobile devices. My advice is to put the most important photos in the center of the cover design. Until they allow people to upload multiple sizes of images for different devices there’s no way to control what is shown. I imagine at some point they’ll update their features to allow for proper image display.
