Facebook Cover Photo Size Guide & Resizer

Resize and optimize Facebook cover photos for desktop and mobile screens with OmegaTools Free Facebook Cover Size Guide & Resizer. Facebook displays cover photos at 820x312 pixels on desktop computers but crops them to 640x360 pixels on mobile phones. This discrepancy frequently results in chopped off headlines and awkward cropping. Our tool ensures your banners look balanced and professional across both platforms without cloud uploads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best size for a Facebook cover photo in 2026?

We recommend designing at 820 pixels wide by 360 pixels tall. On desktop, Facebook displays 820x312 (cropping 24px top and bottom), while on mobile it displays the full 360px height but crops the sides.

Why does Facebook make my cover photo look blurry?

Facebook applies aggressive compression to large image files. Using sRGB color profiles, keeping file size under 100KB, and exporting at exact dimensions prevents harsh algorithmic degradation.

What is the difference between personal profile and business page covers?

Both share the same dimensions, but business pages feature prominent Call-to-Action buttons (e.g. Shop Now, Contact Us) overlaid across the lower banner area that require extra design clearance.

Are my private photos uploaded to a cloud server during resizing?

No. All canvas formatting runs locally inside your web browser sandbox using JavaScript. Your images never leave your local computer or phone.

Is this Facebook Cover Resizer free to use?

Yes, 100% free with unlimited image resizes, no watermarks, and no registration barriers.
