Facebook Cover Photo Size Guide 2026 (All Formats & Dimensions)

Getting the right image dimensions for Facebook can be frustrating. Upload the wrong size and Facebook will crop, stretch, or blur your image. This guide covers every Facebook image size you need to know in 2026.

Facebook Cover Photo Size

Desktop display: 820x312 pixels. Mobile display: 640x360 pixels. Recommended upload size: 820x360 pixels to look good on both. For retina displays, upload at 1640x720 pixels. Keep important content (text, logos) in the center 640x312 area to be safe on all devices.

Facebook Profile Picture Size

Display size: 176x176 on desktop, 196x196 on mobile. Recommended upload: 320x320 pixels minimum, 800x800 for best quality. The image is cropped to a circle, so keep the subject centered and avoid important content near the edges.

Facebook Post Image Sizes

Link share image: 1200x630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio). Square post: 1080x1080 pixels. Portrait post: 1080x1350 pixels (highest engagement — takes up more feed space). Landscape post: 1200x630 pixels. Carousel: 1080x1080 pixels per card.

Facebook Event Cover Photo

Recommended size: 1200x628 pixels (1.91:1 ratio). This same size works for group cover photos. Upload at exactly these dimensions for the sharpest display.

Facebook Story & Reels

Facebook Stories and Reels: 1080x1920 pixels (9:16 vertical). This fills the full screen on mobile devices. Same dimensions as Instagram Stories since they share the same infrastructure.

Tips for Best Quality on Facebook

Facebook compresses all uploaded images. To minimize quality loss: upload at exactly the recommended dimensions, use JPG for photos at 80-90% quality, use PNG for graphics with text, and keep files under 100KB for fastest loading. Avoid uploading images that Facebook needs to resize, as the resizing process adds compression artifacts.
