Steemit Banner : How to customize and create the banner using Canva - Steemit Newbie tips#4

Dear steemians,

As you probably know, you can add your own banner on steemit now, I really think it's a nice update as it can allow you to display more of your personality .

So here is mine and I want to share with you how to create your own ( of course only if you want to create one ).

Step 1 : Go to https://www.canva.com/

It's a free design web and very simple but super awesome. There are free template available that you can use , based on the dimension you want .

You can also create with your own custom dimension . But I am gonna use one of the templates dimension here.

Step 2 :Select " Etsty cover photo" dimension at 1200px x 300 px. As you see there are free designs that you can use or you can create one as you like

If you know the better dimension for steemit banner, please let me know in the comment as I haven't got time to explore it yet.

Step 3: You can use background color/ add texts / delete unwanted items from the original design

I am gonna add a rectangular shape and changed the colour for my liking.

Step 4: Add your own image

For Adding a logo : e.g Steemit and use the image that has .png file/ not .jpeg

You will get like this

Step 5: Download the image u can use either .png or .jpeg file to use.

Step 6: In order to use in steemit , you need a link.

Go to https://postimages.org/ and upload the photo and copy the direct link

Step 7: Lastly paste the link at cover image URL.

Alternatively, you can upload any image, and put as a cover photo.
