What size is a Facebook cover photo?

1640×856 pixels on desktop. Mobile crops the sides, so keep important content near the centre.

What about a Facebook post image?

Square 1080×1080 works well in the feed. Use the resizer directly and enter those dimensions.

Why does my cover look blurry?

Usually because the original was smaller than 1640 wide and got enlarged. Start from a larger source image.

Resize an image for Facebook

Facebook cover photos display at 1640×856. Anything else gets scaled and cropped automatically, which is why covers so often end up with heads cut off.
