Facebook cover photo dimensions
Facebook shows cover photos at 820 x 312 pixels on desktop browsers. On mobile, Facebook crops the same image to 640 x 360, centering it horizontally. This means a cover that looks complete on desktop may lose content from the sides on mobile.
To handle both displays, keep your most important visual content (text, faces, logos) in a centered 640 x 312 region. The 90px strips on each side of the 820px width are only visible on desktop. If mobile visibility matters, use 820 x 360 as your canvas and treat the extra 48px of vertical space as a mobile-only region.
Profile photo overlap
On personal profiles, the profile photo circle overlaps the bottom-left area of the cover photo. On desktop, this circle is approximately 170px wide and sits about 16px from the left edge, partially below the cover. Avoid placing important content in the bottom-left 200 x 100px section of the cover.

Facebook displays profile cover photos at 820 x 312 pixels on desktop. On mobile, the cover is cropped to 640 x 360 pixels, centered from the 820x312 desktop frame. Facebook recommends uploading at 820 x 312 for the sharpest desktop display, or at 820 x 360 if you want to ensure key content is visible on both desktop and mobile.
Does Facebook cover photo look different on mobile?
Yes. Facebook crops the 820 x 312 cover to 640 x 360 on mobile. This means the left and right edges are cut off, and the image is slightly taller. Keep important content centered horizontally and avoid the far left and far right 90px on each side if you need the cover to look good on mobile.
What are Facebook page cover photo dimensions?
Facebook personal profile covers display at 820 x 312 on desktop. Facebook Pages (business accounts) use the same 820 x 312 desktop size, but the mobile crop differs slightly. For Pages on mobile, the cover displays at 640 x 360. Using 820 x 312 works well for both personal profiles and Pages on desktop.
