Pro Tips for Perfect Facebook Cover Photos

Mind the Profile Picture: On desktop, your profile picture overlaps the bottom-left corner of your cover photo. Keep important content away from that area or design around it creatively.

Keep Text Readable: Facebook compresses images, so use large, bold fonts if adding text to your 820 x 312 cover. Test readability at different sizes.

Think Wide: The 2.63:1 aspect ratio is very wide. Panoramic landscape photos work beautifully in the 820 x 312 format.

Mobile vs Desktop Display: Your 820 x 312 cover appears differently on mobile and desktop. The top and bottom edges may be cropped on mobile, so keep important elements centered vertically.

Use High-Quality Images: Start with high-resolution photos (at least 820px wide) for crisp, professional-looking covers at the 820 x 312 size.

Avoid Important Content at Edges: Facebook may slightly crop the edges of your cover photo on different devices. Keep crucial elements in the center of your 820 x 312 image.

Brand Consistency: If you have multiple Facebook pages, use consistent colors, styles, and branding across all your 820 x 312 covers.

Update Seasonally: Keep your profile fresh by updating your Facebook cover regularly—holidays, seasons, new products, or company milestones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between 820 x 312 and 2.63:1?

A: The 2.63:1 refers to the aspect ratio (the proportion of width to height), while 820 x 312 specifies the exact pixel dimensions. Our tool creates images with this ratio at precisely 820 x 312 pixels—Facebook’s recommended cover photo size.

Q: Why did Facebook choose 820 x 312?

A: Facebook selected 820 x 312 to balance visual impact with page load speed. This size displays well on both desktop and mobile while keeping file sizes reasonable.

Q: Can I use a larger image for my Facebook cover?

A: While Facebook accepts larger images, 820 x 312 is the minimum recommended size. Larger images (like 1640 x 624) work too, but 820 x 312 is sufficient for most uses and loads faster.

Q: Will my cover look different on mobile vs desktop?

A: Yes. Desktop displays your full 820 x 312 cover, while mobile may crop the top and bottom slightly. Keep important content in the horizontal center of your image.

Q: How do I avoid my profile picture covering my cover photo?

A: On desktop, the profile picture sits in the bottom-left corner of your 820 x 312 cover. Design your cover with this in mind, leaving that area less important or designing around it intentionally.

Q: Are my images stored on your servers?

A: No. This 820 x 312 image resizer runs entirely in your browser. Your images are processed locally on your device and never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy.

Q: What if my image is vertical/portrait?

A: The tool will fit your portrait image into the wide 820 x 312 frame. You can then use the zoom and drag controls to crop and frame your image as desired.

Q: Can I create multiple covers at once?

A: The tool processes one image at a time. After downloading each 820 x 312 cover, simply click “Start Over” to create your next one. Process as many as needed!

Q: Does this work on mobile devices?

A: Yes! The 820 x 312 resizer is fully responsive and touch-enabled, working perfectly on both iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.

Q: Should I use PNG or JPG for my Facebook cover?

A: This tool outputs JPG for optimal file size. Facebook accepts both formats but compresses them anyway, so JPG is typically the better choice for covers.

Q: Can I use this for Facebook group covers?

A: Absolutely! Facebook groups use the same 820 x 312 dimensions as personal profiles and business pages, making this tool perfect for group covers too.
