A Facebook cover photo is one of the widest images you will ever upload: a long strip that sits above your profile or Page. Upload an ordinary 4:3 or square photo and Facebook crops it to fit, often chopping off heads, product shots or the text you carefully placed. Getting the size right before uploading puts you in control of what visitors actually see.
This resizer applies Facebook's 820 × 312 desktop cover size automatically and fits your image without stretching it. Download it as JPG, PNG or WebP and upload it directly. Everything happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded until you post it yourself.

Landscape photo, 4:3

Facebook crops it to a wide strip, often cutting off heads or text.
After
Facebook cover, desktop size
820 × 312
Exactly the size Facebook shows on desktop; you decide the framing.
If your image is not the same shape, it is fitted and padded with a colour you choose instead of being stretched. For a full-bleed cover, crop to the wide shape first.
Drop a photo or design into the workspace above. The 820 × 312 Facebook cover preset is applied automatically.
If the shapes differ, the image is fitted and padded with a colour you choose. For a full-width photo, crop to the wide shape first with the Image Cropper.
Export JPG for photos, or PNG for covers with a logo or text so edges stay sharp.
Click Resize, download the image, and upload it as your profile or Page cover photo.
| Where | Displayed size | What it means for your design |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop | 820 × 312 px | The full wide strip is visible |
| Smartphones | 640 × 360 px | The sides are cropped; keep content central |
| Minimum upload | 400 × 150 px | Smaller images are rejected or blurry |
| Best format | JPG for photos, PNG for logos/text | PNG keeps text and logos crisp |
| Safe zone | Centre of the image | Content near the left and right edges may be hidden on phones |
Facebook shows covers at 820 × 312 pixels on desktop but in a taller 640 × 360 frame on smartphones. The phone view therefore crops the left and right edges of a desktop-shaped cover. Because most visitors arrive on phones, anything important, such as faces, a logo or a headline, should sit in the middle of the image.
A practical rule: imagine a box in the centre of the cover covering roughly the middle two-thirds of its width, and keep all key content inside it. The edges can hold background scenery or colour that is fine to lose.
Most photos are not as wide as a cover, so you need to decide how to adapt them:
Covers with text or logos look best exported as PNG, which keeps sharp edges free of compression artefacts. Photos can be exported as JPG at quality 85–90. Facebook recompresses every cover, so very large files bring little benefit; matching the display size avoids an extra resize step that can soften details.
Keep text large and short. A tagline of a few words, centred, reads on both a desktop monitor and a phone.
The profile picture overlaps the cover on some layouts, so avoid placing key details in the area it covers. A matching round profile photo, made with the circle crop tool, gives the page a consistent, finished look.
Your image is resized on your device with the browser canvas. Nothing is uploaded, there is no watermark and no limit on how many versions you try.
A strong cover usually has three layers, each sized with the mobile crop in mind:
Covers are viewed against Facebook's interface in both light and dark mode, so pick a background colour with enough contrast for your text and logo in either theme. White text on a mid-tone or dark photo, or dark text on a light background, reads best. If your photo is busy, place a semi-transparent band behind the text in your design tool before resizing.
Updating a cover for a sale, launch, holiday or event keeps a profile or Page looking active. Keep a master design with your logo and colours at the same size, swap only the message, and resize each version here so every cover is framed consistently. Save the previous covers; seasonal designs can often be reused the following year with a small update.

Design covers with a centred logo and tagline that read on phones.
Facebook displays cover photos at 820 × 312 pixels on desktop and 640 × 360 pixels on smartphones. The minimum upload size is 400 × 150 pixels. This tool resizes to the 820 × 312 desktop size.
On phones the cover is shown in a taller, narrower frame, so the left and right edges are cropped. Keep faces, text and logos near the centre so they stay visible on every device.
No. If the shapes differ, the image is fitted inside the frame and padded with a colour you choose. Use Stretch only when the image is already close to the cover shape.
Export as PNG when the cover contains text or a logo; JPG compression can blur sharp edges. Keep text large and centred.
You can upload a larger image with the same proportions, but Facebook recompresses covers anyway. 820 × 312 matches the desktop display size exactly and keeps the file small.
Yes for profile and Page covers, which use the same display size. Group and event covers use different proportions, so check how they display after uploading.
No. Resizing happens in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
This tool resizes and frames your image. Add text, arrows or labels with the Image Annotator or your design tool first, then resize the finished cover here.
Facebook recompresses covers. Upload a clean image at the exact display size, and use PNG for covers with text or logos.
Yes, but it will be fitted with padding or must be cropped to the wide shape. Landscape photos usually work better.
The resizer handles one image at a time, which lets you frame each cover individually.
On some layouts, especially on desktop, the round profile picture overlaps the lower part of the cover near the left side. Avoid placing logos or text in that area; keep key content centred and slightly above the middle.
