Facebook Cover Photo Size Guide (Perfect Fit in 2026)

Facebook shows your cover differently on mobile and desktop. Here's the right size, the safe zone, and how to crop it — free.

Your Facebook cover photo displays at different crops on desktop and mobile, so a design that looks right on your laptop can lose its edges on a phone. The fix is to use the correct size and keep key elements in the safe zone. Here's the Facebook cover size guide, plus how to crop yours free.

The correct size

Upload your Facebook cover at 820 × 312 pixels for desktop, but note it displays around 640 × 360 on mobile — mobile shows a taller, narrower slice. Uploading larger (e.g. 1640 × 624, same ratio) keeps it crisp on high-resolution screens.

Mind the safe zone

Because desktop and mobile crop differently, keep text and logos centred. The sides get trimmed on mobile and the top/bottom can be trimmed on desktop, so anything essential belongs in the middle. Treat the outer edges as decorative.

How to crop your cover (free)

Step 1 — Open the crop tool at sjpt.io.

Step 3 — Crop to the 820×312 ratio, keeping key elements centred.

Step 4 — Download and upload to Facebook.

No watermark, no sign-up.

Design tips

Use a simple, high-contrast design that reads at small sizes. Centre your message. Preview on both desktop and mobile after uploading. Keep the file reasonably light so it loads fast.
