Creating Featured Images are way more simple than you may think, and cheaper... FREE, well this way I am about to show you is free.

Canva!

Canva is an awesome design website that another member here at Wealthy Affiliate showed me. I found out you can do just about anything on there and featured images are easier than ever!

First!

Go To Canva.com

You will be given a huge list of designs that you can make. For featured images, you are going to want to click, "More..." with the "+".

From There It is going to open up the huge assortment of designs.

You are going to want to scoll down till you see "Bloging And EBooks"

For All My Featued Images, I use "Blog Title", This may come down to your theme, and you may have to use custom dimesions at the top right of the screen instead. The next steps are all the same.

Not All Themes Use The Same Size For The Featured Images.

Continue on and learn just how easy it is to create the featured image!

Hey Kenny, thank you for sharing this. I have this bookmarked. I did sign up on Canva but never used it much. I'll definitely be going back and reading this again hopefully this week and follow it thru to completion.

Once you figure it out, it is so simple and useful. Creating your own images is better than using others anyways haha!

Thank you for this.
I was so frustrated today trying to upload photos I took with my iPad. I kept getting HTTP errors.
I changed the theme, I deleted one of the plugins, I changed the photos from JPG to PDF...nothing worked.
I will try inserting my photos into this program and maybe I will get past that darn HTTP error.
Thank you for the great lesson.

Putting them though Canva first and downloading and saving them under a new file name should fix the issue.
