Facebook Photo Resizer

All Facebook image sizes for 2026, verified

Facebook publishes its cover and profile picture specs in its Help Center, and this tool’s presets follow that page as verified in August 2026. A cover photo must be at least 400×150 px and loads fastest as an sRGB JPG at 851×315 px under 100 KB. A profile picture should be uploaded at 320×320 px or larger at 1:1; Facebook displays it cropped to a circle at 176×176 px on desktop and 196×196 px on smartphones. Several widely read guides still publish the old 170×170 and 128×128 display sizes. Those numbers are out of date.

For the surfaces Facebook does not spec on that page, the presets use the figures the 2026-updated size guides agree on. Feed posts: 1080×1080 px square (1:1), 1080×1350 px portrait (4:5, the format that takes the most mobile screen space), and 1200×630 px landscape (1.91:1). Group covers are 1640×856 px per Facebook’s own group help page, not the 1640×922 preset some tools ship. Event covers are 1920×1005 px at 1.91:1, with 1200×628 px as the safe minimum.

Link previews pull the og:image at 1200×630 px, with a 200×200 px minimum and an 8 MB file cap. Stories and Reels are 1080×1920 px at 9:16 with a 500 px minimum width. If you are resizing for ads, feed placements take 1440×1440 px (1:1) or 1440×1800 px (4:5) and Stories ads take 1440×2560 px (9:16), up to 30 MB.

The distinction that trips people up is upload size versus display size. The feed renders images at roughly 470 px wide on a timeline and about 504 px on a Page, but uploading at those display sizes guarantees a soft result once Facebook rescales. Upload at the recommended dimensions and let Facebook scale down, never up.

Cover photos: desktop vs mobile, and the safe zone

The same cover photo is cropped differently on every device, which is why covers that look right in the uploader end up with the sides chopped off after publishing. Desktop shows roughly 820×312 px of your image; mobile shows about 640×360 px, narrower but taller. The area both crops share is approximately 640×312 px in the center, and that safe zone is where any text, faces or logos need to live.

Two more placement details Facebook’s own docs flag: the displayed area differs by device, and on mobile your profile picture overlaps the cover by around 40 px. Keep the bottom-left corner clear, because that is where the profile picture sits on top of the cover. This tool draws both device crops and the safe zone over your actual image before you download, so the surprise happens here instead of on your Page.

If you want extra sharpness on high-density screens, uploading at exactly double the official spec (1640×922 px, the same 851×315 shape scaled 2×) gives Facebook more pixels to work with. Treat it as a sharpness option, not the official size: 851×315 px under 100 KB remains the spec Facebook says loads fastest, as of August 2026.

Why Facebook makes your photos blurry, and how to beat it

Facebook recompresses every image at upload, and the visible damage depends on what is in the photo. Regular photographs survive reasonably well. Logos, text, gradients and flat saturated color (red especially) suffer most, because JPEG compression throws away exactly the sharp edges and color detail those images depend on. That is why a logo exported from a design tool can look crisp locally and fuzzy the moment it lands on your Page.

The fix Facebook itself documents: for covers, upload an sRGB JPG at 851×315 px kept under 100 KB, and switch to PNG when the image contains a logo or text. PNG is lossless, so hard edges and flat color arrive intact instead of ringed with JPEG artifacts. This tool applies both rules: it exports covers to the fast-load JPG spec and lets you choose PNG for text-heavy or flat-color artwork.

The other half of the fix is resizing before you upload. When your image already matches the target dimensions, Facebook has no reason to rescale it, and one resize pass is skipped entirely. Uploading a 4000 px photo and letting Facebook shrink it stacks Facebook’s resampling on top of its compression; uploading at the exact size means compression is the only step left, at the size it hurts least.

Private by design, then straight to posting

Your photo never leaves your device. Resizing runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded to a server, nothing is stored, and there is no account or signup gating the download. That also means no arbitrary file-size limit: if your browser can open the image, this tool can resize it.

One photo rarely serves one surface. The same announcement graphic might need to be a 1080×1350 px feed post, a 1080×1920 px Story and a 1200×630 px link preview. Export each size in one pass, with filenames that carry the surface and dimensions, so nothing gets uploaded to the wrong slot later.

Once the image is the right size, the next step is getting it posted. JuzPost is a social media scheduler: connect your Facebook Page and you can schedule the resized photo to publish at the time you choose, instead of parking it in a folder.
