Facebook Cover Image Dimensions. Your Facebook cover image is critical. At a look, it can display your business and range of products/services to potential customers. With increased mobile usage it is very important to take into consideration how this image will look on smaller screens. The following diagram highlights the ideal size and visible areas for Facebook cover photos both desktops and mobiles.

Facebook Cover Image Dimensions

For desktops, the cover picture must be of 851px width and 315 px height. Having an image with resolution greater than 815px x 315 px is not an issue, as Facebook will lower the size proportionately.

Noticeable and Non-Visible Areas for Mobile Viewing:



Points to be kept in mind from the diagrams above are:

Green Location-- Your business page profile image or logo goes here. Prevent putting any text or image in this region, as this will be not visible in neither desktops nor mobiles.

Blue Area-- The locations which are not noticeable in mobiles. Lots of people are not knowledgeable about this and have the tendency to make the mistake of putting text or images here.

White Location-- This is the only area which shows up in both desktops and mobile.
