Desktop vs Mobile — Why Size Matters
💻 Desktop View
820 × 312 px — Full cover photo visible on desktop. The widest view but shows less height.
📱 Mobile View
640 × 360 px — Cover photo on mobile devices. Centered crop with more height visible but narrower width.
✅ Safe Zone (Intersection)
560 × 312 px — The area visible on BOTH devices. Keep important content here!
Design Tips for Facebook Covers
🎯 Keep Content in the Safe Zone
The safe zone (560×312px) is where desktop and mobile views intersect. Place your logo, text, and key visual elements within this area. Anything outside may be cropped on mobile devices, leaving your cover looking incomplete.
📐 Use High-Resolution Images
Start with images at least 1640×624px (double Facebook's recommended size). Facebook compresses uploaded images, and a high-resolution source ensures your cover stays sharp after compression. Avoid heavily compressed JPEGs as source files.
👤 Account for Profile Picture Overlap
On desktop, your profile picture (160×160px) overlaps the bottom-left corner of the cover photo. Keep important content like text, faces, or your logo away from this area. On mobile, the profile picture sits above the cover and doesn't overlap.
🌈 Use Solid Edges or Gradients
Since Facebook crops the cover differently on desktop (wide) and mobile (tall), using solid colors or subtle gradients at the edges prevents awkward cropping. Your most important content should sit comfortably in the center safe zone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Facebook cover get cropped on mobile?
Facebook covers have different dimensions on desktop (820×312px) and mobile (640×360px). The mobile view is a narrower, taller center crop of your image. Content near the left/right edges on desktop gets cut off on mobile. This tool highlights the safe zone that remains visible on both devices.
What is the best size for a Facebook cover photo?
Facebook recommends 820×312 pixels for desktop. However, to ensure your cover looks good on all devices, design with the 560×312px safe zone in mind. This tool outputs the full 820×312px cover but helps you position content within the intersection area.
Will my profile picture cover part of the cover photo?
Yes! On desktop, your profile picture (160×160px) overlaps the bottom-left corner of the cover photo. Avoid placing important text or faces there. On mobile, the profile picture sits above the cover and doesn't overlap.
Can I use this tool without signing up?
Absolutely. No registration required — just upload your image, position it in the safe zone, and download. All processing happens locally in your browser for privacy.
What file formats are supported?
You can upload JPG, PNG, and WebP images. The tool outputs either PNG (lossless, larger files) or JPG (smaller files with slight quality loss). Choose based on your needs.
Why is my Facebook cover blurry after uploading?
Facebook compresses uploaded images. To minimize blur, start with a high-resolution image (at least 1640×624px, double the recommended size). This tool outputs at Facebook's exact dimensions, but using a sharp source image helps maintain quality after Facebook's compression.
What is the Facebook cover photo safe zone?
The safe zone (560×312px) is the intersection of desktop and mobile views. Content placed here remains fully visible on all devices. The highlighted green area in this tool shows exactly where your safe content should go.
