Resize Cover Photos for Facebook

Facebook cover photos are one of the most visible branding elements on any Facebook page or profile. The cover photo spans the full width of the page and is the first thing visitors see. Getting the dimensions right ensures the cover photo displays correctly without unwanted cropping. Our tool resizes images to the exact 820x312 pixel cover photo dimensions with options for positioning if the source image has a different aspect ratio.

Facebook Post Image Best Practices

Facebook post images display at 500 pixels wide in the timeline and up to 1200 pixels wide when clicked. Using images at 1200x630 pixels provides the optimal balance of quality and file size for Facebook posts. This 1.91:1 aspect ratio matches Facebook recommended link preview dimensions and ensures that images look sharp when shared across Facebook. Our tool resizes images to this specification with consistent quality.

Resize Profile Photos for Facebook

Facebook profile photos are displayed as circles on the profile page and in comments. For the best quality display, profile photos should be square at 180x180 pixels or larger. Our tool can resize any photo to a square format suitable for Facebook profile use, with options for how to handle the cropping when the source image is not square. This ensures your profile photo looks sharp and correctly framed in the circular display format.
