How to resize your image for Facebook
- Upload your image above. It never leaves your device.
- Choose Cover to fill the frame by cropping, or Contain to keep the whole image with padding.
- In Cover mode, click or drag on the preview to choose which part to keep.
- Check the shaded guides, then download your image.
Tips for better results
- Keep logos and text inside the area marked in the preview so both desktop and mobile show them.
- Your profile picture overlaps part of the cover, so avoid important content in that corner.
- Preview on a phone and a computer after uploading.
Common mistakes
- Designing only for desktop, so text gets cut on mobile.
- Placing text near the top or bottom edge.
- Using a low-resolution image that looks soft on large screens.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Facebook cover photo size?
Most guides suggest 820×360 pixels as a compromise for desktop and mobile. Exporting at 1640×720 gives double the detail.
Why does my cover look different on mobile?
Facebook crops covers to a taller shape on phones than on desktop.
Are page and profile covers the same size?
Most sources say they use the same dimensions. Check Facebook after uploading, since it can change.
Is my image private?
Yes. Resizing and cropping happen in your browser using your own device. Your image is never uploaded to a server, so there is no account, watermark or limit.
