Facebook Cover Photo Size 2026: Desktop and Mobile

All guides · Social media image sizes

Quick answer: a Facebook Page cover photo must be at least 400 × 150 pixels, and Facebook says an sRGB JPG at 851 × 315 pixels under 100 KB loads fastest. The catch: Facebook displays the cover at 16:9 on desktop and 2.4:1 on mobile, both left-aligned and full bleed (Facebook Help). Design one image that works at both shapes.

Facebook cover photo dimensions

• Minimum: 400 × 150 px.

• Fastest loading: 851 × 315 px, sRGB JPG, under 100 KB.

• Desktop display: 16:9, left-aligned, full bleed.

• Mobile display: 2.4:1, left-aligned, full bleed.

• Group cover: 1640 × 856 px. Facebook advises keeping key content away from the edges because mobile may not show the whole image (Facebook Help).

• Page profile picture: upload 320 × 320 px. It displays as a circle at 176 × 176 px on desktop and 196 × 196 px on smartphones.

Older guides quote 1640 × 859 for group covers; Facebook's own figure is 1640 × 856.

One file, two shapes

Because the two views use different ratios, one of them always crops the other. A 16:9 desktop frame is taller than a 2.4:1 mobile frame, so on a phone the top and bottom of a 16:9 image fall away.

Facebook only publishes the minimum, the fast-loading size and the two display ratios; it does not publish a single "correct" upload size. Our working approach:

1. Compose the full frame at 16:9 so desktop visitors see a complete image. We use 1920 × 1080 px.

2. Keep the headline and logo in the horizontal middle where a 2.4:1 view still shows them. Facebook does not document exactly where the mobile crop falls vertically, so leave generous space above and below.

3. Start from the left. Both views are left-aligned, so the left side is the most reliable place for text.

4. Export a compressed JPG. If load speed matters more than detail, the 851 × 315 figure is Facebook's own benchmark for a fast cover.

Design tips for Facebook covers

• Avoid small text. On mobile the cover is a thin strip; one short line reads, a paragraph does not.

• Mind the profile picture. Your Page's circular profile picture sits beside the cover, so avoid placing a second logo where the two will compete.

• Use a PNG for flat graphics. Logos and sharp type compress better as PNG; photographs are lighter as JPG.

• Preview on both. Check the cover on a desktop browser and a phone before you move on.

Make a Facebook cover in Fuser

1. Generate the scene with space on the left and a calm top and bottom. In Fuser, use GPT Image or any image model on the canvas.

2. Set the Compositor canvas to 1920 × 1080 (or 851 × 315 if you want Facebook's fast-loading size). Width and Height accept anything from 1 to 4095 px (Compositor docs).

3. Place text as its own layer inside the middle band, then export a PNG at the canvas size (export docs).

Building covers in the Compositor next to your X header and LinkedIn banner keeps every profile consistent from the same source image.
