Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best size for Facebook cover photos?

Facebook cover photos display at 820x312 pixels on desktop and 640x360 pixels on mobile. Design at 820x462 to accommodate both views, centering important content in the middle area. Use PNG format for covers with text or logos, and JPG for photographic covers.

What dimensions work best for Facebook shared images?

For link preview images and shared posts, use 1200x630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio). This is also the Open Graph standard that displays correctly when your page is shared. For photo uploads, 2048x2048 pixels maximum resolution is supported, but 1200px width is optimal for news feed display.

Does Facebook reduce image quality when uploading?

Yes, Facebook compresses uploaded images significantly. To minimize quality loss, upload JPG files under 100KB for profile photos and under 1MB for posts. Use sRGB color space and match exact recommended dimensions. Facebook applies less compression to images that already meet its target specifications.
