Resize an Image for Facebook
Cover photos, posts and profile pictures, the exact Facebook dimensions so your images display sharp and uncropped.
For Facebook, use 820×312px for a page cover photo, 1200×630px for a shared post or link image, and at least 320×320px for a profile picture. Crop to the ratio each placement needs, then resize to those pixels so Facebook doesn't crop or blur your image.
| Page cover photo | 820 × 312 px (desktop) |
|---|---|
| Shared post / link image | 1200 × 630 px (1.91:1) |
| Profile picture | 320 × 320 px+ (square) |
| Story | 1080 × 1920 px (9:16) |

How to do it
- 1
Choose the placement
Cover 820×312, post 1200×630, profile 320×320, or story 1080×1920.
- 2
Crop to the aspect ratio
Match the ratio with Crop Image so the subject isn't chopped by Facebook's automatic crop.

Compress and post
Lightly compress so it loads fast. Facebook re-compresses, so start from a clean, correctly-sized image.
- The cover photo displays differently on mobile and desktop. Keep key content away from the edges.
- For link posts, set a 1200×630 Open Graph image on your site so shares show the right picture.
- Facebook aggressively compresses images. Uploading at the exact size (not larger) keeps quality highest.
