How to Resize Images for Facebook

1

Choose your Facebook preset

Select from Cover Photo (851×315px), Post (1200×630px), Story (1080×1920px), or Profile Picture (170×170px). Each preset matches Facebook’s exact display dimensions.

2

Upload your image

Drag and drop or click to select your image. For cover photos, choose a wide landscape image. For profile pictures, a centered headshot works best.

3

Resize

Click Resize to process your image. Facebook images should be high quality at the recommended dimensions to minimize compression artifacts after Facebook’s own processing.

4

Download and upload to Facebook

Save your resized image and upload it directly to Facebook. Using the correct dimensions ensures your content displays perfectly across desktop and mobile.

Facebook Image Size Requirements

Facebook displays images at specific pixel dimensions depending on placement — cover photos, posts, stories, and profile pictures each have their own requirements. Uploading images at the wrong size leads to unwanted cropping, stretching, or blurry display. Facebook also applies its own compression to uploaded images, so starting with a high-quality image at the exact recommended dimensions minimizes quality loss. A Facebook cover photo displays at 851×315px on desktop and 640×360px on mobile, with a safe zone in the center where text remains visible across all devices.
