On Etsy, the shop cover and banner are two distinct elements that serve different purposes:
Etsy shop cover photo: The shop cover photo, also known as the cover image, is the main visual element displayed at the top of your Etsy shop's main page. It is a prominent and wide image that represents your brand, products, or shop aesthetic.
Etsy shop banner: The shop banner, on the other hand, is a narrower and rectangular image that appears beneath the shop cover photo. It spans across the width of your shop page and is intended to provide additional branding and informational elements.

Step 1. Sign in to CapCut, select "Create a design," and choose "Custom dimensions."
Step 2. Enter the recommended banner size for Etsy, typically 1200 pixels wide by 300 pixels tall.
Step 3. Browse CapCut's template library or start from scratch, then personalize the design by adding your shop's name, logo, tagline, and any other relevant information or graphics.
Step 4. Customize the colors, fonts, and layout to match your brand's aesthetic.
Step 5. Once completed, download the banner and upload it to your Etsy shop's banner section in the settings.
