About the Facebook Cover Resizer tool
Facebook cover photos display at 820×312 on desktop. This tool crops and scales your image to those exact dimensions so nothing important gets cut off.
Resizing happens in the browser on your device. No upload, no account, and no copy stored anywhere.
How to use it
- Add your image.
- Choose the Facebook preset you need.
- Crop or reposition, then download.
Facebook sizes that matter
Getting the dimensions right prevents the platform cropping your image in a way you did not intend.
Current dimensions
- Cover photo: 851 × 315 on desktop
- Profile picture: 170 × 170 displayed, upload at 320 × 320
- Shared link preview: 1200 × 630 (1.91:1)
- Shared post image: 1200 × 630
What to watch for
The cover photo is the awkward one, because mobile and desktop crop it differently. Mobile shows a narrower slice from the center, so keep anything important — text, faces, a logo — well within the middle of the frame.
The profile picture overlaps the lower-left of the cover on desktop. Leave that corner clear.
Common mistakes
- Uploading an image whose aspect ratio does not match, and letting the platform crop it for you.
- Placing important content near the edges, where cropping varies between devices.
- Uploading below the recommended pixel size, which looks soft on high-density screens.
Questions people ask
Why did my image get cropped?
Its aspect ratio did not match what the platform expects, so it trimmed the difference.
Should I upload at exactly these dimensions?
Yes where possible. Matching the specification avoids re-compression and unexpected cropping.
Do these sizes change?
Platforms adjust them occasionally. Check the official help pages if something looks wrong.
