About this tool

Facebook Cover Photo Size Resizer

Facebook (FB) cover photos are a wide banner: 851 × 315 px on computers. Normal photos are much taller, so Facebook crops most of the picture away unless you choose the framing yourself.

Upload any photo and it's cropped to 851 × 315 px. Move the slider to choose which part stays in the frame, or add a border to keep the whole picture, then download a sharp JPG ready to upload to Facebook.

On phones Facebook shows less of the left and right edges, and your profile picture covers the bottom left. Keep important parts near the middle.

851 × 315 pixels (width × height), a 2.7:1 ratio. Phones and computers measure pictures in pixels, not inches or cm, so the pixel size is what matters.

Yes. It's saved as an HD, high-quality JPG at exactly the size Facebook shows, so Facebook has less reason to compress it again and it stays sharp.
