Facebook Cover Photo Resizer
Your cover photo is the billboard at the top of your page. Facebook's own Help Center says it loads fastest at 851×315 pixels. Wrong dimensions crop your design or look stretched.
Facebook cover photo size
Facebook cover photo size: 851×315 px (Facebook's own "loads fastest" recommendation), minimum 400×150 px, sRGB JPG under 100 KB.
Facebook crops the same cover photo differently by surface — expect roughly 640×360 px on mobile — so keep any logo or text centered rather than near the edges.

- Facebook Help Center - Page profile picture and cover photo dimensions - Facebook says cover photos load fastest as an sRGB JPG file that’s 851 pixels wide, 315 pixels tall, and less than 100 kilobytes; the minimum accepted size is 400×150 px.
Why 851×315 Pixels?
This is the exact size Facebook's own Help Center recommends for the fastest load. It displays sharply on desktop and crops predictably on mobile. Keep logos and text away from edges since mobile views cut off the sides.
First Impressions at Page Level
Your cover photo is the first thing visitors see. A stretched or pixelated banner signals amateur hour. The right dimensions make your page look professional immediately.
