Facebook cover photo size: 1640×856

Facebook renders a page cover photo at 1640×856 pixels on desktop, though it crops it differently again on mobile and inside the page's own preview. This Facebook cover photo size resizer fits your photo to the full desktop canvas so you can position the subject before Facebook's own responsive cropping gets to it.

Questions people ask

What is the current Facebook cover photo size?

Facebook renders a page cover photo at 1640×856 pixels on desktop. Facebook compresses PNGs harder than JPGs for cover photos, so exporting as JPG, as this tool does by default, is usually the cleaner-looking upload.

Why does my cover photo look different on mobile than on desktop?

Facebook uses a more square-ish crop for the mobile cover photo than the wide desktop banner, and it also overlaps the bottom-left corner with the page's profile picture. Keep your main subject centred rather than pushed out to the edges.

Does Facebook compress cover photos?

Yes, noticeably — Facebook re-encodes every uploaded cover photo, and images with fine text or thin lines suffer the most. Starting from a sharp source at a decent JPG quality, as this tool exports by default, keeps the result cleaner after that second pass of compression.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Resizing happens entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API — this site has no upload endpoint, and the tool keeps working if you disconnect from the internet after the page loads.

What is the difference between Cover and Contain?

Cover scales your photo up until it completely fills the target frame and crops away whatever does not fit, so the result is nothing but photo, no padding. Contain scales the photo down until the whole thing is visible, then pads the leftover space with a colour or a blurred, zoomed-in copy of the same photo so it still looks intentional.

Do social media image sizes change over time?

Yes — platforms adjust these specs every year or two without much notice. The dimensions on this page were last verified in August 2026; if a placement changes after that, the pixel size and any file-size limit shown above may be out of date, so it is worth a quick check against the platform's current help page before a high-stakes upload.
