Resize Image for Facebook Posts, Cover, and Profile
Facebook has six different image size requirements. Upload at the wrong size and you get blurry, cropped, or shrunken results.
Facebook displays images at specific sizes depending on where they appear: feed posts, cover photos, profile pictures, event covers, group covers, and ad images. Each has its own dimension. Resize to the exact target and your image displays crisp on every device.
Open Image ResizerStep-by-step
Pick the right dimension for your use
Feed post: 1200x630. Cover photo: 820x312 (desktop) or 640x360 (mobile-safe). Profile picture: 170x170. Event cover: 1920x1005. Group cover: 1640x856.
Open the Image Resizer
Launch the tool. Drag in your source image.
Enter custom dimensions
Type the target width and height. For cover photos, design with the mobile-safe area in mind so nothing important gets cropped on phones.
Save and upload
Download the resized file and upload directly to Facebook. The image will display at full sharpness without being auto-cropped.

Open Image ResizerFrequently asked questions
What size is a Facebook cover photo in 2026?
820x312 pixels for desktop display. On mobile, only the center 640x360 area shows, so keep critical content (text, faces) in that center zone.
Does Facebook compress images on upload?
Yes — Facebook re-compresses all images. Uploading at the exact target dimensions and JPG format minimizes the compression damage. Avoid PNG for photos; Facebook converts it to JPG and double-compresses.
What about Facebook Stories?
1080x1920 pixels, same as Instagram Stories. Vertical 9:16 ratio. Anything else gets letterboxed or cropped.
Can I use the same image for Facebook and Instagram?
Only if it's a square (1080x1080), which fits both Facebook feed and Instagram. Other formats need separate sizing. Twitter and LinkedIn have their own preferred sizes too.
