Frequently asked questions
What is the Facebook cover photo size?
Facebook's help page says Page covers load fastest at 851 × 315 px as an sRGB JPG under 100 KB, and must be at least 400 × 150 px. Personal profile covers must be at least 720 px wide.
Why is my cover cropped differently on my phone?
Facebook shows covers in a different shape on phones and computers, so part of the image is hidden on one or the other. Keep important text and faces near the middle.
What size is the Facebook profile picture?
320 × 320 px gives the best quality for a Page. It's shown at 176 px on computers and 196 px on phones, cropped to a circle. Use PNG if it has a logo or text.
Can I use a PNG for the cover?
Yes, but only the JPG is compressed under 100 KB. Facebook suggests PNG for images with a logo or text, which stay sharper in PNG.
Is my image uploaded to OptiPress?
No. It's cropped and resized in your browser, and it never leaves your device.
