What is a Blog Banner?

A blog banner is the featured image located in the header of a blog post. These designs can be either static or animated images. Although blog posts are often best known for their detailed written analysis, a blog banner is one of the first prompts a reader to click on a post at all. As a result, many bloggers spend a significant amount of time creating unique images representing the themes or titles of their blogs in a creative visual format.

While “what constitutes a great blog banner?” is a subjective question, there are a few key commonalities among excellent blog banners:

Blog banners may be an essential part of a writer’s blog post, but they are one of the most overlooked elements.

This is partially because most bloggers have little experience with graphic design. And even among those bloggers who are familiar with easy-to-use graphic design platforms (such as Canva), creating a custom blog banner for each blog post can be time-consuming.

This is where Canva really shines-Canva allow you to create custom blogging banner templates, which can be modified and shared, allowing you to create entire batches of blog banners, instead of just one-off designs. It also allows you to duplicate features from one Canva design to another, greatly decreasing the time each additional design takes.

While the free version of Canva offers some great templates, the selection is somewhat limited. Canva Pro offers more designs and custom design elements, but the designs are still fairly basic. Moreover, the default designs in Canva get used by Canva’s thousands of users each day. So if you are looking to create a blog banner that really stands out from the crowd, custom templates are a great option!

Below is our selection of premium Canva templates for sale. Some of these were designed in house (with the team at Blogging Guide) and others are beautiful templates that we have sourced from across the internet.
