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.
