What size should a Facebook cover photo be in 2026?
Upload it at 851 × 315 pixels. It must be at least 400 × 150.
Meta’s advice for the file is just as specific. An sRGB JPG under 100KB loads fastest. If the cover has a logo or words on it, save a PNG instead, because JPG blurs the edges of text.
Is a Facebook cover photo 16:9?
Not the file you upload. 851 × 315 is about 2.7:1, much wider than 16:9.
The confusion comes from Meta itself. Its Help Centre now describes the Page cover on a computer as full width at 16:9, and on a phone as 2.4:1, lined up to the left. Its older business help page says the cover shows at 820 × 312 on computers and 640 × 360 on phones. The two pages don’t agree.
So don’t design for one screen. Upload 851 × 315, keep the important part in the middle, and check the Page on your phone and your computer.
How to make your cover photo fit on Facebook
Crop it to 851 × 315 first. Choose “Page cover photo” in the tool above, add your picture, drag it until the right part is in the frame and download it.
Then keep two things in mind. The profile picture sits over the cover by about 40 pixels, so leave that corner quiet. And the edges are the first thing a small screen cuts, so nothing that matters should sit near them.
The cropper works in your browser and uploads nothing, so it’s fine for a cover you haven’t announced yet.
What makes a good Facebook cover photo?
One clear subject that still reads at the width of a phone. Your shop front, your team, your work on a real job.
Words are optional. If you use them, use a handful, big, in the middle. Your phone number and opening hours already have their own place on the Page.
What should you avoid? Anything that only works large: small print, a busy collage, a group shot where every face is the size of a pea.
Why is my Facebook cover photo blurry?
Usually compression. Facebook recompresses what you upload, and a JPG with text on it comes out smudged.
Save the cover as a PNG if it has a logo or words, and start from an image at least 851 pixels wide so it’s never enlarged. A photo with no text is fine as an sRGB JPG.
Other Facebook image sizes
A Page profile picture shows as a circle, 176 × 176 on computers and 196 × 196 on phones. Upload a 320 × 320 square with the logo or face in the middle.
For posts, Meta publishes sizes for ads only: 1440 × 1800 for a 4:5 portrait, or a 1080 × 1080 square. Those suit ordinary posts too.
A Story is 1440 × 2560, at 9:16. Meta asks you to keep the top 14%, the bottom 35% and 6% at each side free of text and logos; pick “Story” above and the box shows the space that’s left. The image that shows when someone shares a link to your website is 1200 × 630, set in the page’s og:image tag.
Event covers are the gap. Meta’s help page for events gives no size at all.

What is the recommended Facebook cover photo size in 2026?
851 × 315 pixels, at least 400 × 150. Meta says an sRGB JPG under 100KB loads fastest, or a PNG if the cover has a logo or text.
Is FB cover photo 16:9?
The file isn't: 851 × 315 is about 2.7:1. Meta's Help Centre describes the cover on a computer as 16:9 and on a phone as 2.4:1, while its business help gives 820 × 312 and 640 × 360. Upload 851 × 315 and keep the important part in the middle.
How do I make my cover photo fit on Facebook?
Crop it to 851 × 315 before you upload it, with the tool on this page. Keep words and logos away from the edges and from the corner where the profile picture overlaps by about 40 pixels.
What size is a Facebook profile picture?
It shows as a circle, 176 × 176 on computers and 196 × 196 on phones. Upload a 320 × 320 square with the face or logo in the middle.
What size is a Facebook event cover photo?
Meta doesn't say. Its help page for event photos gives no dimensions, so any figure you see comes from a third party. Upload a large landscape image and check it on a phone.
Why is my Facebook cover photo blurry?
Usually compression or enlargement. Save a cover with text or a logo as a PNG, and start from an image at least 851 pixels wide so Facebook never has to stretch it.
