Facebook Cover Photo Resize

A Facebook cover photo is the wide banner image displayed at the top of your personal profile or page, with a recommended desktop size of 820×312px. On mobile, only about 640×360px is visible, so centering key elements ensures a clean look on both devices. The profile photo overlaps the bottom-left corner, which should be factored into your layout. This tool crops and resizes your image to exactly 820×312px and saves it as JPG — preventing unwanted cropping or blur after upload.

Output size: 820 × 312 px

If aspect ratios differ, the image is center-cropped automatically.

FAQ

Why does my cover photo get cropped on mobile?

Mobile displays the cover in a narrower viewport, so the left and right edges may be trimmed. Place important text and logos near the center to keep them visible across devices.

Is there a file size limit for cover photos?

There is no strict limit, but an sRGB JPG under 100KB loads fastest and minimizes quality loss from recompression.

How much does the visible cover area differ between desktop and mobile?

Desktop shows the full 820×312px, while mobile displays only about 640×360px. The difference is significant, so keep key content centered.

Does the profile photo overlap the cover?

Yes, the profile photo appears as a circle overlapping the bottom-left of the cover. Avoid placing important text or logos in that area.

Can I use an animated GIF as a cover photo?

Facebook Pages support cover videos, but personal profile covers only accept static images (JPG, PNG).
