Facebook Cover Photo Resizer
Facebook displays cover photos at 820×312 pixels on desktop, but phones show a narrower slice of the same image — roughly the center 640 pixels. That single image serving two different crops is why covers so often look fine on a laptop and awkwardly chopped on a phone. This tool resizes to the exact dimensions and marks the mobile-safe center so you can check both views before uploading.

How it works

Add your image
The frame is preset to 820 × 312 pixels.

Position it
Drag to pan and use the zoom slider. Crop-to-fill trims overflow; fit-with-padding keeps everything visible.

Respect the safe zone
Mobile crops the sides — keep essential content in the center 640 px.

Common uses
- Small businesses updating a page cover for a seasonal promotion
- Nonprofits and clubs adding event details to their page header
- Personal profiles refreshing a cover after a trip or milestone
- Social media managers keeping cover art consistent across pages
- Musicians and venues announcing dates in the page header
Good to know
- Phones crop roughly 11% from each side, so keep text, faces, and logos inside the center 640 pixels of the 820-pixel width.
- Photos compress well as JPEG; if your cover is mostly text or flat graphics, a PNG can avoid visible compression ringing around letters.
- Facebook recompresses covers on upload — starting from a sharp, correctly-sized image gives its compressor the best input.
- Desktop and mobile also render the cover at different heights, so avoid pinning critical content to the very top or bottom edge.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a Facebook cover photo?
820×312 pixels for the desktop display, which is the figure we last verified in July 2026. Mobile devices show a taller, narrower crop of the same image, so the practical safe area is the center of the frame.
Why does my cover photo look cut off on phones?
Facebook shows a narrower crop of the cover on mobile — roughly the middle 640 pixels of the width. Anything near the left or right edge simply is not visible on phones. Keep essential content centered and check the safe-zone preview before uploading.
Should my cover photo be a JPEG or a PNG?
JPEG is right for photographic covers — smaller files, no visible loss at high quality. If your cover contains a lot of text or sharp-edged graphics, PNG avoids the halo artifacts JPEG compression can add around letters. Facebook recompresses either way.
Are page covers and profile covers the same size?
They display very similarly at 820×312 on desktop, and this preset works for both. Group and event covers use different dimensions, though — the event cover has its own preset. Facebook adjusts these layouts periodically, so treat any published size as current-until-changed.
Do you upload my image to resize it?
No. The resize happens entirely in your browser using your device's own processing — the image never touches our servers. What you download is what you then upload to Facebook yourself.
