FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended Facebook cover photo size?

Facebook displays cover photos at 820 pixels wide by 312 pixels tall on desktop and 640 pixels wide by 360 pixels tall on smartphones. An optimal upload size is 820 × 360 pixels (or 1640 × 720 for retina screens).

Why does Facebook crop my cover photo on mobile?

Desktop displays cover photos in a wide banner format (approx 16:6), whereas mobile screens display a taller aspect ratio (16:9). Safe area centering prevents content cutoff.

How do I prevent Facebook from making my cover photo blurry?

Upload your cover photo as a PNG file under 100KB, or upload a 2x retina image (1640 × 624). Facebook heavily compresses JPG files with text or logos.

Where does the profile picture overlap the cover?

On desktop, the profile photo overlaps the bottom left of the cover. Keep important contact info and slogans towards the center or right.

What is the minimum cover photo size Facebook allows?

Facebook requires a minimum of 400 pixels wide and 150 pixels tall.
