Facebook Cover Photo Size — Desktop & Mobile Dimensions
Facebook displays cover photos differently on desktop and mobile, which means your image will be cropped depending on the device. Understanding the safe zones prevents important content from being cut off.

Cover Photo Safe Zones
- Desktop crops vertically: The top and bottom edges are trimmed on desktop. Keep critical content in the vertical center.
- Mobile crops horizontally: Left and right edges are trimmed on mobile. Keep text and faces away from the left/right 90px.
- Upload at 820x462: This gives enough margin for both crops without losing content.
- Profile photo overlap: On desktop, your profile photo overlaps the bottom-left of the cover. Don't put important elements there.
- Use PNG for text/logos — Facebook compresses JPEG covers heavily.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Facebook cover photo size?
Facebook cover photos display at 820x312 pixels on desktop and 640x360 on mobile. Upload at 820x462 pixels so important content stays inside the safe zone on both devices.
What size should a Facebook post image be?
Facebook post images render best at 1200x630 pixels (1.91:1 landscape) — the same dimensions Facebook uses for link previews. 1200x1200 (square) also works and takes up more space in the feed on mobile.
What is the Facebook event cover photo size?
Facebook event cover photos should be 1200x628 pixels (1.91:1). This is also the recommended size for shared link images, so a single export can serve both uses.
What size is a Facebook profile picture?
Facebook profile pictures display at 170x170 pixels on desktop (cropped to a circle), but upload a square image at 320x320 or larger so the high-DPI version stays sharp. Keep the subject centered — corners are hidden by the circular crop.
