On desktop, Facebook crops the top and bottom of taller images.
On mobile, Facebook crops the left and right sides of wider images.
Creating a stunning Facebook cover photo is only half the battle. The real challenge lies in how Facebook displays that image across different devices. Because Facebook uses a single image for both desktop and mobile views, it applies different cropping rules to each. If you don't use a cover photo optimizer, your carefully designed text or logo might end up hidden behind your profile picture or cropped out entirely on smartphones.
Our tool allows you to preview facebook page cover on mobile and desktop instantly. By uploading your design, you can see exactly where the "danger zones" are. This is essential for maintaining professional profile branding and ensuring your marketing message is always visible.
Facebook's official dimensions can be confusing. On desktop, the cover photo displays at 820 pixels wide by 312 pixels tall. However, on mobile devices, it displays at 640 pixels wide by 360 pixels tall.
To satisfy both, the "sweet spot" is 820px by 360px. Using our social media image resizer alongside this checker ensures your banner is perfectly optimized for every visitor.
The "Safe Area" is the central portion of your cover photo that is guaranteed to be visible on all devices. For a standard 820x360px image, the safe area is roughly the middle 640x312px. This is where you should place your most important content:
Using our safe area check feature, you can toggle a guide that shows exactly where these boundaries lie. This prevents the frustration of uploading a banner only to realize your phone number is cut off on iPhones.
Beyond just size, consider the composition. On desktop, your profile picture covers a small portion of the bottom-left corner of your cover photo. On mobile, the profile picture is centered and covers a larger portion of the bottom.
