How to use the Simple Blog Banner Maker

A blog banner is the image at the top of a post. The same image usually appears when someone shares the link, so its title has to be readable at a small size. This maker fits the title to the banner for you, darkens an uploaded photo so white text stays readable, and saves a PNG or JPG at the size you choose.

  1. 1Type the title of your post. The text shrinks to fit as it gets longer.
  2. 2Add a small line under it, such as your blog name or the date, or leave it empty.
  3. 3Pick a size. 1200 x 630 fits blog headers and link previews.
  4. 4Choose a background colour, or upload a photo and set how much to darken it.
  5. 5Click Download PNG, or Download JPG for a smaller file.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a blog banner be?

1200 x 630 pixels works for most blog themes and is also the size social platforms use for link previews. Use 1600 x 900 for a wide header, 1500 x 500 for a thin strip, and 1080 x 1080 for a square post.

Can I use my own photo as the banner background?

Yes. Click Upload image or drop a photo onto the preview. The maker crops it to the banner size around the centre and darkens it by the amount you set, so the title stays readable.

Does the banner have a watermark?

No. The file contains your title, your background and nothing else.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The banner is drawn in your browser and the photo stays on your device.

Can I use the banner as the link preview image?

Yes. Upload the file to your site and set it as the og:image of the post. At 1200 x 630 it fits LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Slack and WhatsApp. Use the JPG download for a photo background to keep the file small.
