Facebook Image Sizes 2026: The Complete Guide

Getting your Facebook image sizes wrong means cover photos that look cropped on mobile, blurry profile pictures, and feed posts that get compressed into low-quality previews. This guide covers every Facebook image size you need in 2026.

Facebook Image Sizes at a Glance

Format	Size (px)	Aspect Ratio	Notes
Feed post — portrait	1080×1350	4:5	Best organic reach in the feed
Feed post — standard	1200×630	1.91:1	Shared link preview default
Page cover photo	1640×922	16:9	Mobile crops to 640×360, desktop to 820×312
Story / Reels	1080×1920	9:16	Same as Instagram Stories

Event cover	1920×1005	~1.91:1	Displayed at 470×174 in listings

Feed Posts: Portrait Gets More Reach

Facebook's algorithm gives more feed space to taller images. Portrait (4:5) at 1080×1350 px is the best format for single-image posts. It pushes other content lower on the screen and tends to get more engagement than square or landscape.

For link previews and shared posts, Facebook uses a 1.91:1 ratio. If you're sharing a link with an attached image, aim for 1200×630 px so it looks clean in the preview card.

Cover Photos: Design for Both Mobile and Desktop

Facebook cover photos are tricky because they display differently on mobile and desktop:

Desktop: Shows at 820×312 px — a wide, short horizontal strip

Mobile: Crops to 640×360 px — a wider, taller square-ish view

Upload at 1640×922 px and design your key content in the central horizontal band. Anything in the far left, right, or bottom corners may be cut off on mobile.

Profile Photos: Upload at 320×320 px Minimum

Facebook displays profile photos at 176×176 px on desktop and smaller on mobile. The minimum upload size is 320×320 px, but uploading at 800×800 px or larger gives you sharper results on high-DPI screens.

Your photo is cropped into a circle from the center, so keep faces or logos centered and away from the edges.

File Format and Compression Tips

Facebook recompresses every image after upload. To minimize quality loss:

Upload as JPG for photos — Facebook converts PNGs to JPG anyway, and uploading JPG directly gives you more control over quality

For graphics with text or logos, use PNG — the sharper edges survive Facebook's re-encoding better

Keep file size under 1 MB for fastest upload and least aggressive compression

Use the sRGB color profile — images in other color spaces can look washed out
