Facebook Cover Resizer

Resize a photo to Facebook's 820 × 312 profile cover size — free, instant, entirely on your device.

How to resize a Facebook cover photo

Drop a photo into the box above and it's automatically center-cropped to Facebook's wide cover ratio and scaled to 820 × 312 pixels, the desktop display size for profile and page covers, then offered for download.

For example, a panoramic landscape photo suits this wide, short frame well — dropping it here crops it neatly to the cover's proportions without you needing to calculate the crop by hand.

A note on mobile cropping

Facebook displays cover photos slightly differently on mobile versus desktop, sometimes trimming a bit more from the top and bottom on phones. Keeping your main subject centered — which this tool's crop already does — helps it stay visible across both layouts.

Designing around the cover photo's safe zone

A Facebook cover photo displays differently depending on whether someone views your page on desktop or mobile, and the profile photo overlaps the bottom-left corner on both. That means important text, logos or faces placed too close to the edges risk being cropped or covered — keeping the focal point of your image centered, and any text comfortably away from the corners, is the safest way to make sure it reads correctly everywhere.

This tool scales your image to the wide banner proportions Facebook expects for a cover photo, which is a noticeably different shape than a normal feed post — using a regular post image here without resizing first almost always results in an awkward crop.

Previewing both desktop and mobile

Since the cover photo crops differently between desktop and mobile, it's worth mentally checking your design against both — anything meant to be seen should sit comfortably within the narrower mobile-visible area, not just the wider desktop view. A design that only works on one device ends up looking unfinished on the other.

Resizing here runs entirely in your browser through the Canvas API, so you're free to try your image at the correct proportions and check the result before uploading it to your page.
