cover photo size guide

Our ‘Universal’ recommended dimensions
for Page, Group, Profile and Event Photos
FACEBOOK PAGE SIZES | Showing safe areas for text on different devices

Our recommended sizes cater

for high definition and retina
screens and this deeper 16:9
dimension matches the size you
would use for video.

Desktop height - 312px (731px recommended)

Tablet height - 391px (916px recommended)
The simple approach is to make
every cover photo 1920 x 1080 px
Overall Size - 820px x 461px
and be aware of where different
(1920px x 1080px recommended)
devices will crop the text.

What does Facebook

recommend?
Desktop height - 332px (777px recommended)

Facebook recommends a variety

of pixel sizes and aspect ratios
Overall Size
(1920px x 1080px recommended) for each cover photo type.
If you’re interested take a look
at Page 3 onwards, but our
suggestion is to keep it simple
and use our ‘Universal’ size.
Why make things complicated?

DESKTOP CROP

MOBILE/TABLET CROP

NOTE. The above safe areas/cropmarks assume that the photo is the deeper 16:9 ratio that we recommend
rather than the more traditional shallow letterbox dimensions. It also assumes that the photo when dragged
into Facebook is not moved up or down. It is fine to do this but the crop positions will change.
* Where the profile picture ends up in relation to the cover photo depends on the device you are using.

The Circular Crop

GROUP CIRCULAR ICON We have positioned the circular
DESKTOP CROP crop, which surfaces in a number
of contexts, in the centre of the

occur on the left or right of this
depending on the presence of
faces and/or text in the image.
