Resize Image for Facebook Cover
Your Facebook cover photo is the largest visual element on your profile or page. It creates the first impression for visitors and sets the tone for your entire presence on the platform. Using the wrong dimensions results in blurry images, cropped content, or stretched visuals. This page covers Facebook cover specs and provides a free resize tool.
Facebook Cover Photo Size
The recommended Facebook cover photo size is 820 x 312 pixels on desktop. On mobile devices, the cover displays at 640 x 360 pixels with different cropping. To ensure your cover looks good on both, design at 820 x 462 pixels and keep important content within the center 820 x 312 area. Use a high-resolution source image since Facebook compresses uploads.
Facebook Event Cover
Facebook event cover images should be 1920 x 1005 pixels (approximately 1.91:1 ratio). This is significantly larger than the profile cover. Event covers appear prominently on the event page and in event discovery, so use high-quality, eye-catching imagery that communicates the event theme.
Facebook Post Image
Standard Facebook post images display best at 1200 x 630 pixels. This is the same dimension used for link preview images and Open Graph meta tags. Using 1200x630 ensures your shared links and posts look their best across both Facebook and other platforms that use Open Graph.
Avoiding Facebook Compression
Facebook heavily compresses uploaded images, especially JPEG files. To minimize quality loss, upload PNG files for covers with text, logos, or solid colors. For photographic covers, upload JPEG at quality 95% and let Facebook handle the final compression. Keep file sizes under 1MB for fastest upload and processing.
How to Resize
Select the Facebook cover preset in the resize tool. Upload your image and the tool sets dimensions to 820 x 312. Choose your output format and download. Upload the resized image to your Facebook profile or page. All processing happens in your browser.
