Prepare a Facebook Group Cover
Place the group name, logo, and faces toward the center. Review the cover on desktop and mobile because the visible crop changes by device. Start with the sharpest original available. Resizing a small source to a larger canvas adds pixels but cannot restore detail that was never captured.

What size is a Facebook Group Cover?
1640×856 pixels is the canvas used by this preset. Facebook recommends keeping important information out of the edge areas because mobile visitors may not see the full cover.
Is 1640×856 required?
Facebook recommends 1640×856 pixels for group covers. The image can still be repositioned, and edge areas may be hidden on mobile.
Will enlarging a small image make it sharper?
No. Enlargement can meet the pixel dimensions, but it cannot recreate missing texture or focus. Use the largest original you have.
Should I check the result after resizing?
Yes. Review the crop, fine detail, text, and any destination-specific safe areas before you upload or print the file.
