Facebook Cover Photo Size (851×315)
The Facebook cover photo is 851×315 pixels. Resize your cover to the exact size below, and keep key content centered so it works on both desktop and mobile. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Desktop vs mobile
The Facebook cover renders differently by device: about 820×312 on desktop, and a narrower crop on mobile that trims the left and right edges. The safe move is to keep your logo, text, and key visuals in the center, using the edges for background only.
On Pages, the profile picture and page name also overlay the lower-left on desktop, so avoid putting important content there. Design at 851×315, keep the essentials centered, and your cover will look right everywhere.

What is the best resolution for a Facebook cover?
Upload at 851×315 (or a proportional larger size) in JPG or PNG. Use PNG if your cover contains a logo or sharp text; JPG is fine for photographs. Facebook re-compresses uploads, so start from a clean, sharp source.
Does the profile picture cover part of the Facebook cover?
On Pages, the profile picture and page name overlay the lower-left of the cover on desktop, and the layout shifts on mobile. Avoid placing important content in the lower-left corner.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
