Facebook Cover Photo Size — Desktop vs Mobile

Facebook displays cover photos at different sizes depending on the device. On desktop, the cover is 820×312px (displayed from an 851×315 upload). On mobile, it is cropped to approximately 640×360px. Designing at 851×315px and keeping key content in the center ensures it displays correctly on both.

This tool exports at 851×315px — the recommended upload resolution for Facebook cover photos with no quality loss.

Facebook Cover Best Practices

  • Personal profiles: Show your personality. A travel photo, hobby shot, or motivational quote works well. Profile photo covers the bottom-left — leave that area clear.
  • Business pages: Reinforce your brand. Include your logo, tagline, and website. Feature your current promotion or product launch.
  • Events: Date, time, event name prominently displayed. Bold fonts, high contrast.
  • Non-profits: Mission statement or campaign imagery. Include donation CTA if running a campaign.

Optimize Your Facebook Cover Before Uploading

Facebook re-compresses images on upload, which can reduce quality. To get the best result: upload at 851×315px (this tool does this), use JPG format for photos, keep file size under 1MB. If you need to compress further, use CompressImg — Compress for Facebook.
