cover photo
Facebook header image
A cover photo is the large banner image displayed prominently at the top of a social media profile, distinct from the smaller profile picture.
The term emerged with Facebook's introduction of the feature and now applies across platforms: She updated her cover photo to a beach sunset.
Cover photos typically showcase interests, moods, or aesthetics rather than just the user's face.
