About this tool

Resize your photo to the correct Facebook cover photo size online for free with ResizerPhoto. Our tool automatically fits and crops your image to the exact dimensions used by Facebook for profile and page cover photos.

A Facebook cover photo spans the full width of a profile or page and is displayed at a wide, specific aspect ratio that rarely matches how most photos are originally framed, which is why so many Facebook cover photos end up with important content awkwardly cut off at the top or sides after upload. This tool lets you crop any photo to the exact cover photo dimensions Facebook uses before you upload it, so you can see precisely what will be visible in the final cover position rather than discovering the crop after it's already live on your profile.

Key features

Business and community pages in particular benefit from a well-composed cover photo, since it's one of the largest and most visible pieces of visual branding on a page's profile, often used to announce promotions, showcase a product lineup, or reinforce a brand's visual identity to every visitor who views the page. Taking the time to properly crop a wide banner-style photo to Facebook's exact cover dimensions, rather than accepting whatever automatic crop the platform applies to an unprepared image, gives pages a noticeably more polished, professional appearance that visitors immediately notice and trust.

Common uses

How it works

The tool constrains your crop frame to Facebook's cover photo aspect ratio and outputs the result at 820 by 312 pixels, the standard dimensions Facebook cover photos are displayed at across both desktop and mobile versions of the platform. Because this is a very wide, short aspect ratio compared to most photos taken with a phone camera, the tool lets you freely reposition the frame across the width of your source image to select exactly which horizontal slice of a wider photo becomes your cover image, rather than being forced to use the platform's default centered automatic crop.

Facebook cover photos are partially covered by the profile picture in the bottom-left corner on both desktop and mobile layouts, so it's worth keeping important details like faces or text away from that specific area of your crop, positioning the most important part of your image toward the center or right side of the frame instead.

Tips for best results

Because Facebook displays this cover image slightly differently between desktop browsers, the mobile app, and mobile browsers, with each cropping a marginally different visible area from the same uploaded file, it's generally safest to keep your most important content well within the center of the frame rather than close to the very top or bottom edges, which are the areas most likely to be cropped out on at least one of these display contexts.

Frequently asked questions

What is the correct Facebook cover photo size?

Facebook recommends 820 x 312 pixels for profile cover photos. Our tool automatically resizes your image to these dimensions.

Will my Facebook cover photo look blurry?

Use a high-resolution original image for best results. Starting with a low-resolution photo will result in a blurry cover.

Can I use the same cover for my profile and page?

Yes. Facebook uses the same cover photo dimensions for both personal profiles and business pages.

What format should my Facebook cover be?

JPG is recommended for photographs. PNG is better for graphics with text or logos.

How often can I change my Facebook cover photo?

You can change it as often as you like through Facebook settings.

Will my photo be cropped automatically when I upload it to the platform?

Using the exact recommended size reduces the chance of an automatic crop, but always preview before posting.

Can I use this size for a different platform too?

Sizes are platform-specific, so check the exact requirement for each platform rather than reusing one size everywhere.

Do I need special software to prepare this size?

No, this tool runs entirely in your browser, so no software installation is needed.
