You use programs like gimp and such things. Paint is another, I guess.

I also recommend gimp for making banner pictures; it's the best free image editor out there.

Even though FFR says the max size is 200x960, the actual width is 958. If it's wider than 958, the rest of the picture will be cut off from the right, past the 958 pixel point. Another thing to keep in mind, if the banner is 958 pixels wide or wider, you may notice that the banner will be 1 pixel further to the right than your background. It may be unnoticeable if the background color doesn't contrast too much with the banner, but if it does, you can try changing your background color to a color that matches with the left side of your banner so it seems seamless between the background color and your banner and it would seem like it aligns with your background picture if you have a background picture.

If you need to know how to put one in your profile, look at the top of your profile at the dark gray bar. The link furthest to the right in red color: Show Style Editor should be clicked. After it's clicked, a light gray bar at the top of your profile should appear that has the text:
Default / Banner / Background - Style Editor
That should be clicked to get a bigger light gray box with several profile overall look options. In the header text box area, you browse for your banner picture and click the Update button at the bottom.

If you don't need this much help, then this might be helpful to someone else wondering how to do it.
