Course Cover Maker — 1280×720, type the title
Publishing an online course, recording a training, or running a webinar? The platform needs a landscape cover. This scene presets a 16:9 course-cover layout (1280×720) that fits most course and video platforms: type the course title, the number of lessons and the instructor, pick a professional theme, and export a sharp cover. Runs locally — no login, no watermark.

Why 16:9 landscape
Course players and listings are mostly landscape 16:9, and 1280×720 is the standard sharp size. A vertical cover gets letterboxed or cropped there. Start from this preset and the cover shows complete on both the course page and the listing.
Say what they'll be able to do
"Build your personal brand from zero" beats "Personal Branding 101" because it states the outcome. Make the core "what you'll be able to do" the headline, and put the instructor and lesson count in the subtitle as a credibility cue. The layout here is preset to that.
Matching covers look more professional
For a multi-part course or a series, use one theme and layout across every cover. In the platform listing it reads as a proper course rather than something recorded on the fly. Change the title, keep the theme.
Frequently asked questions
What size for a course cover?
A 16:9 landscape (1280×720) fits most course and video platforms — that's the default. For platforms that want a square or vertical, adapt separately.
Should I put the instructor's photo on it?
This is a text-first "type and it's done" cover and looks professional without a photo. If your platform allows it, you can overlay a photo elsewhere after exporting.
Will it be blurry?
No — it exports a crisp 1280×720 PNG that meets the upload requirements of major platforms.
