Facebook connects billions of users across personal profiles, business pages, community groups, and marketplace listings. With diverse placements across desktop browsers and mobile apps, using the correct image proportions prevents awkward cropping, pixelation, and aggressive automated compression by Facebook's media engine. The ResizeKit Facebook Image Resizer guarantees that your timeline posts, cover banners, and Stories look polished and professional.
Facebook utilizes different aspect ratios depending on whether your content is shared in the news feed, as a header banner, or inside vertical Stories. Below are the official recommended dimensions:
| Placement | Aspect Ratio | Recommended Pixels | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feed Post (Landscape) | 1.91:1 | 1200 × 630 px | Timeline photos, link shares & announcements |
| Page & Profile Cover | 2.63:1 | 820 × 312 px | Business page headers & profile top banners |
| Facebook Story | 9:16 | 1080 × 1920 px | Full-screen vertical status updates |
| Event Cover Photo | 1.91:1 | 1920 × 1005 px | Event banners & webinars |
| Profile Picture | 1:1 | 170 × 170 px | User & business page circular avatars |
The standard recommended size for a landscape Facebook feed post is 1200 × 630 pixels (1.91:1 aspect ratio). This resolution ensures that when users scroll past your post on desktop monitors or mobile newsfeeds, your graphic displays crisply without any unwanted black borders or awkward automatic crops.
Similar to Instagram, Facebook Stories use a vertical 1080 × 1920 pixel format (9:16 aspect ratio). When designing Story creative, keep text, branding, and faces away from the top 200 pixels (where user profile info sits) and the bottom 250 pixels (where the reply bar appears).
A Facebook cover photo requires special attention due to responsive layout differences between devices. On desktop computers, covers display at 820 × 312 pixels (wide horizontal), while mobile apps crop the sides to show a taller central area (640 × 360 pixels). Keep your logos and headlines centered to ensure they remain visible across all screens.
Facebook displays profile pictures as circular cutouts at 170 × 170 pixels on desktop and 128 × 128 pixels on smartphones. Using a high-resolution square (170 × 170 px or 400 × 400 px) ensures your profile remains sharp when users click on your photo to expand it.
Fill & Crop adapts your image to perfectly match Facebook's display card, eliminating gray side-bars. Fit Entire Image places the complete, uncropped photo onto a white canvas, which is helpful when your image contains text diagrams or full group portraits.
For photos with rich color gradients, use JPEG (.jpg) saved at 90–95% quality. For graphics with transparent elements or text overlays, use PNG (.png) to prevent artifacting.
ResizeKit processes your photos client-side inside your browser via the Canvas API. No images are uploaded to remote servers, giving you complete data protection and privacy.
The optimal dimensions for a standard Facebook timeline post image are 1200 × 630 pixels, which corresponds to a 1.91:1 landscape aspect ratio.
The recommended size for a Facebook Page or personal profile cover photo is 820 × 312 pixels (2.63:1 aspect ratio) for desktop, displaying at 640 × 360 pixels on mobile smartphones.
Facebook Stories require a full-screen vertical 9:16 aspect ratio with exact dimensions of 1080 × 1920 pixels.
The recommended dimension for a Facebook Event cover image is 1920 × 1005 pixels (approximately 1.91:1 ratio) to ensure sharp display across Retina displays.
Facebook displays profile avatars at 170 × 170 pixels on computers and 128 × 128 pixels on smartphones. Uploading at 170 × 170 px (or higher 400 × 400 px square) provides crisp clarity.
Facebook aggressively compresses images that exceed size limits or have mismatched aspect ratios. Resizing your photo to exact target dimensions (such as 1200 × 630 px) with high-quality JPEG compression prevents Facebook's automated compression engine from ruining your photo.
Choose 'Fill & Crop' if you want your photo to fill the standard landscape card or cover header completely. Choose 'Fit Entire Image' if your image has text, borders, or critical framing near the edges that must not be cropped.
No. ResizeKit executes all resizing and cropping completely client-side in your web browser. Your images remain private and never leave your device.
