Why Size Matters on Facebook
Facebook automatically compresses and resizes images that don't match their recommended dimensions. This leads to three common problems:
- Blurry images — Uploading too small forces Facebook to upscale, creating pixelation.
- Unexpected cropping — Wrong aspect ratio means Facebook chops off parts of your image in the feed.
- Heavy compression artifacts — Oversized images get aggressively compressed, especially around text and edges.
The fix is simple: resize to the exact recommended dimensions before uploading. When your image already matches Facebook's expected size, it passes through with minimal additional compression.
Facebook Cover Photo: Desktop vs Mobile
Facebook's cover photo is tricky because it displays differently on desktop and mobile:
- Desktop: Displays at 820×312 — a wide, short banner.
- Mobile: Displays at 640×360 — taller crop from the center.
The safest approach: design at 820×462 and keep important content (text, logos, faces) in the center 640×312 area. This ensures nothing critical gets cropped on either device.
Pro Tips for Facebook Images
- Use PNG for cover photos with text — Facebook compresses JPG covers heavily, making text look fuzzy. PNG under 100 KB gets less compression.
- Upload at 2× for Retina displays — For profile pics, upload 340×340 even though it displays at 170×170. This keeps it sharp on high-DPI screens.
- Link preview images should be 1200×630 — This is also the Open Graph (og:image) standard. Using this size ensures your links look great when shared.
- Stories support up to 20 MB — Unlike feed posts, you can upload high-resolution story images without aggressive compression.
💡 Quick check: After uploading, view your image on both desktop and mobile to verify nothing important was cropped. Facebook's cropping algorithm can shift slightly depending on content detection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best image size for Facebook posts?
The recommended size for Facebook feed posts is 1200×630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio). This is also the standard Open Graph image size, so your post looks great when shared. For square posts, use 1080×1080 pixels.
What size is a Facebook cover photo?
Facebook cover photos display at 820×312 on desktop and 640×360 on mobile. Upload at 820×462 and keep important content in the center 640×312 area to ensure nothing gets cropped on any device.
Why do my Facebook images look blurry?
Facebook heavily compresses images that aren't uploaded at the recommended dimensions. Upload at exactly the sizes Facebook expects (e.g., 1200×630 for posts) and the compression is minimal. Also avoid uploading JPEG files over 100 KB with text — use PNG for text-heavy images.
What size is a Facebook profile picture?
Facebook profile pictures display at 170×170 pixels on desktop. For Retina/high-DPI clarity, upload at 340×340 pixels. The image displays as a circle, so keep important content centered and away from corners.
What is the Facebook event cover photo size?
Facebook event cover images should be 1200×628 pixels (1.91:1 ratio). This is the same aspect ratio as link preview images. Keep text and key visuals centered since cropping can vary slightly between desktop and mobile views.
Should I use JPG or PNG for Facebook images?
Use JPG for photographs and PNG for images with text, logos, or sharp graphics. Facebook compresses JPG covers heavily, making text fuzzy. PNG files under 100 KB receive less aggressive compression, keeping text readable.
What size are Facebook Story images?
Facebook Stories should be 1080×1920 pixels (9:16 aspect ratio), the same as Instagram Stories. Stories support up to 20 MB file size, so you can upload high-resolution images without worrying about aggressive compression.
