Facebook Image Size Cheat Sheet 2026

Q: What is the Facebook post image size?

The recommended Facebook post image size is 1200x630 pixels (1.91:1 aspect ratio). This dimension also works as the Open Graph preview image when your content is shared. JPEG and PNG formats are supported.

Q: What is the Facebook cover photo size?

Facebook Page cover photos load fastest as sRGB JPG files at 851x315 pixels and under 100 KB. They display at 820x312 on desktop and 640x360 on mobile, so keep critical content centered.

Q: What size is the Facebook profile picture?

Facebook recommends uploading Page profile pictures at 320x320 pixels for best quality. The image is shown as a circle in most placements, so keep important content centered.

Q: What is the Facebook story size?

Facebook stories should be 1080x1920 pixels (9:16 aspect ratio). Leave the top and bottom 15% free of critical content since Facebook overlays UI elements in those areas.

Q: Does Facebook compress images?

Yes. Facebook compresses all uploaded images. For the best quality, upload at the exact recommended dimensions, use sRGB color space, and start with high-quality source files. PNGs over 1 MB are converted to JPEG.

Facebook uses different image dimensions across posts, cover photos, profile pictures, and stories. The recommended post image size is 1200x630, which also serves as the default Open Graph preview when your content is shared. Page cover photos display at 820x312 on desktop and 640x360 on mobile, while Facebook recommends 851x315 under 100 KB for fastest loading. FastEdit helps prepare practical Facebook targets.

Before you upload

Use sRGB JPEG for photo-heavy covers and posts; Facebook recommends keeping cover images under 100 KB for fastest loading.
Cover photos display at different crops on desktop (820x312) and mobile (640x360), even when uploaded at 851x315: keep important content centered.
Post images at 1200x630 double as Open Graph images when the post URL is shared externally.
Profile photos display as circles: avoid placing important content near corners and edges.
Story safe zones exclude the top 14% (status bar, profile info) and bottom 20% (reply bar) of the 1080x1920 canvas.
