How to make custom frames for your Facebook profile picture<\/h2>\n

Relatively recently, Facebook began allowing users to\u00a0<\/span>design their own frames.\u00a0<\/b>To do this,\u00a0<\/span>go to this URL<\/b><\/a> and click on \u201c<\/span>Create frame.<\/b>\u201d\u00a0Go for it! We’ll wait.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the next screen, it’s just an explanation of what you’re doing, so click on \u201c<\/span>Get started.<\/b>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Okay, now you’re ready to create your frame. First, you must \u201c<\/span>Upload a design<\/b>\u201d in PNG format. PNGs have transparent backgrounds,\u00a0so they’ll appear to hover above your standard profile picture. You can find PNGs with a quick Google search or whip them up in Photoshop. Once you have your masterpiece, upload it by dragging and dropping or using the “Upload Art”<\/strong> button in the upper left corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve done that, you can resize it and place it wherever you like. On the top right, you\u2019ll see different formats available, so you can also think about the device it will be displayed on. When everything\u2019s ready, click on <\/span>\u201cNext<\/b>\u201d and add a \u201cName,\u201d as well as set the \u201cLocation,\u201d \u201cCalendar\u201d and \u201cKeywords.\u201d Click \u201cNext\u201d when you\u2019re good to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the final step. <\/span>Check carefully how your design looks with your profile photo.<\/b> Facebook will create a simulation with a cell phone display, so you can see how the photo will look to other users. As soon as you click \u201c<\/span>Publish<\/b>,\u201d you\u2019ll have created your custom frame, which is ready to be used both by other users and you, of course. That’s it! You’re done!<\/span><\/p>\n
