Facebook Event Cover Resize

A Facebook event cover is the hero image displayed at the top of an event page, with a recommended size of 1200×628px (1.91:1 ratio). The event title and date overlay the bottom portion, so key visuals should sit in the upper two-thirds. Used for meetups, webinars, and seminars, a sharp on-spec image directly boosts event participation. This tool crops your image to 1200×628px and saves it as JPG — ready for upload in seconds.

Output size: 1200 × 628 px

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

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.
