Facebook Event Cover Resize
A Facebook event cover uses 1200×628px (1.91:1), but on the live event page it is not just a banner — title, date, time, location, and the Interested/Going buttons overlay the bottom 30–40%. Keep the hero subject in the top two-thirds, and if your design includes text, deliberately leave the bottom ~240px as a quiet, low-contrast band so the system overlays remain readable. Recommended-event carousels also re-crop the cover to 1:1, so confirm the center square still tells the story. This tool previews both the bottom overlay zone and the center-square crop while exporting a 1200×628px JPG, leaving little to fix once the event page is published.
How to use
Plan overlay + square crop
Plan around the bottom ~240px overlay band and the center-square crop used in recommended-event carousels — keep key elements in the top two-thirds.
Tune contrast and export
Tone down extreme contrast so the system text stays readable, then export as 1200×628px JPG.
When to use this tool
For a recurring series (monthly meetup, seasonal workshop), build a 1200×628px master once and only swap the text per session — the fastest workflow that still passes both crops.
Launching a meetup or webinar page and need a cover that does not fight the system overlays
Building a recurring series template (monthly meetup, seasonal workshop) where only text rotates each session
Verifying the center-square crop used in recommended-event carousels before publishing

FAQ
Is the event cover the same size as a regular Facebook ad?
Yes, both recommend 1200×628px (1.91:1). However, the event cover has the event title and date overlaid at the bottom, so your layout should account for that overlap.
Can I add text to the event cover image?
You can, but since event details overlay the bottom portion, placing text in the upper or center area of the image makes it easier to read.
What information overlays the bottom of the event cover?
The event title, date, location, and RSVP button are displayed over the lower portion. Place key visuals in the top two-thirds of the image.
Can I change the event cover after creating the event?
Yes, you can replace it anytime from the event page editor. Keep the 1200×628px spec to avoid cropping issues after the change.
What file format works best for event covers?
JPG or PNG is recommended. JPG keeps file size small for photos, while PNG preserves sharpness for graphics with text or logos.
