Why the right size matters on Facebook

Facebook fits every photo to its own shapes. If you resize first, you choose the crop, not Facebook.

Facebook crops what doesn't fit

In the feed, Facebook shows a single photo in full when it is between landscape 1.91:1 and portrait 4:5. A taller photo is cut at the top and bottom, and covers are cut differently on a phone and a computer. The cut can remove a face, a product or a line of text. Resize first and you decide what stays in the frame.

Which size to pick

Portrait 4:5 (1080 × 1350) takes up the most of the feed on a phone, where most people see your posts, so it is the best choice for a photo that must stop the scroll. Square 1:1 is the safe choice when you are not sure. Landscape 1.91:1 (1200 × 630) suits wide scenes and is the shape Facebook uses for the picture on a shared link. Stories and Reels fill the whole screen at 9:16.

Tips for covers and your profile picture

Facebook shows your Page cover wider on a computer than on a phone, where it cuts the sides. Keep text and faces in the middle, away from the edges. Your profile picture shows as a small circle and covers part of the cover photo, so keep the subject centred. Download photos as JPG and logos or graphics with text as PNG. When the photo is ready, post it, or schedule it with Posttyy's Facebook scheduler. Need the words too? Try the free Facebook caption generator.

Questions, answered

How do I resize a photo for Facebook?

Drop your photo into the resizer and pick the Facebook size you need. Drag the crop box to frame the shot, then download. The photo comes out at the exact size Facebook shows, so nothing gets cropped when you post it.

What size should a Facebook post be?

For one photo, use portrait 4:5 (1080 × 1350) to fill the most of the feed on a phone, square 1:1 (1080 × 1080), or landscape 1.91:1 (1200 × 630) for wide shots. Facebook shows all three in full.

What size is a Facebook cover photo?

Facebook shows a Page cover at 820 × 312 on a computer. Upload it at 1640 × 624, twice that size, so it stays sharp on high-resolution screens. On phones Facebook cuts the sides, so keep the important part in the middle.

What size should a Facebook profile picture be?

720 × 720 pixels or larger. Facebook shows it as a circle, so the resizer draws that circle inside the crop box, and you can see what will be cut off.

What size is a Facebook event cover photo?

1920 × 1005 pixels, a 1.91:1 shape. Keep any text away from the edges, because Facebook trims them slightly in some places the event shows.

What size is a Facebook group cover photo?

1640 × 856 pixels, a 1.91:1 shape. Like a Page cover, it is cut differently on phones and computers, so keep the important part in the middle.

Why do my Facebook photos look blurry?

Facebook shrinks and compresses photos that are much bigger than it needs, and stretches ones that are too small. Upload at the exact size, as the resizer does, and use PNG for graphics with text, which compress badly as JPG.

Is the Facebook photo resizer free?

Yes. It is free, with no account, no watermark and no limit on downloads.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The resizer works in your browser, so your photo never leaves your computer.
