How it works
- Choose a landscape photo from your phone or computer.
- Select Prepare to create an 851×315 JPG with a center crop.
- Check the preview for the crop and clarity.
- Download the JPG and upload it as your Facebook cover.
Facebook cover photo dimensions: 851×315 pixels
Facebook Help says a Page cover loads fastest as an sRGB JPG that is 851 pixels wide, 315 pixels tall and under 100 KB. This tool exports a JPG at 851×315 px with a center crop, kept under 100 KB. The shape is about 2.7:1, much wider than a normal 3:2 or 4:3 photo, so the top and bottom of your picture are trimmed to fit.
Facebook also says covers on personal profiles must be at least 720 pixels wide. The 851 px output is wider than that minimum. Facebook lists these sizes in pixels, not inches or centimeters, so 851×315 is the number to aim for.
Resize a photo for a Facebook cover on mobile or desktop
Open this page in your phone browser or on a computer, choose a landscape photo and select Prepare. The preview shows exactly what the center crop keeps. Portrait photos work badly here, because only a thin horizontal slice survives, so start with a wide original whose subject sits near the middle.
Facebook says a cover may be cropped differently on different screens, and that the profile picture covers part of the left side. Keep faces, logos and text away from the edges and the left corner. The tool makes one 851×315 file, not separate phone and desktop versions. If you need the round profile picture instead, use the Facebook profile picture page.
Keep the cover sharp, small and private
A blurry cover usually starts with a small original stretched across a wide frame, or with a very detailed image squeezed into 100 KB. Photos with clean backgrounds and good light compress best, while fine text inside the picture can look soft. Choose the sharpest, largest landscape photo you have.
Your photo is processed in your browser and never uploaded, which matters for personal or business images. The tool is free, needs no sign-up, adds no watermark and works on phones and computers. Facebook's rules can change, so check its Help page if an upload shows different guidance.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Facebook cover size in pixels?
Facebook Help lists 851 pixels wide by 315 pixels tall for a Page cover, as an sRGB JPG under 100 KB. This tool exports a JPG at 851×315 px with a center crop, under 100 KB.
What is the Facebook cover size for mobile and desktop?
Facebook says a cover may be cropped on different screens. This tool makes one 851×315 file rather than separate versions, so keep the important parts in the center and away from the left side.
What is the Facebook cover size in cm or inches?
Facebook gives the size in pixels, and a pixel count has no fixed physical size. Use 851×315 px, which is what this tool outputs.
Is the Facebook cover size the same in 2026?
Facebook Help currently lists 851×315 pixels and under 100 KB for a Page cover. Layouts can change, so check the Help page if your upload shows different guidance.
Why is my Facebook cover photo blurry or cropped?
Facebook says covers may be cropped on different screens and the profile picture covers part of the left side. Blur usually comes from a small original or a detailed image squeezed under 100 KB. Use a sharp, wide photo with the subject centered.
What is the Facebook cover ratio?
851×315 is about 2.7:1, a wide strip. This tool fills that shape and crops your photo around its center, so a landscape original works best.
