Facebook Image Sizes Guide 2019

Facebook Image Sizes Guide 2019

Getting your images to look good on Facebook can be difficult without a guide, so below is a simple outline of the image sizes we recommend for your Facebook page.

We’ve looked at the various sizes and dimensions you need to know to make your Facebook account look great.

All of the sizes in the titles are recommended sizes. Often you can use larger sizes, but stick to the aspect ratios to ensure images display correctly.

Facebook social image sizes

Facebook is the world’s biggest social media platform. That’s a huge audience that might be seeing your content. So the potential marketing opportunity is huge, especially with supporting algorithm changes that favour engagement and sharing.

There’s a number of different image types on Facebook from the ones in your feed to profile pages. We’ve listed them below:

Facebook profile picture size: 180 x 180 px

Most likely the most viewed picture you’ll post on the platform, your profile picture will act as your avatar across the site.

Often the first thing people will see when they come across you, it will appear alongside all of your posts, your comments, and pretty much all of your Facebook activity.

Guidelines

  • Needs a minimum width of 180px.
  • Can have a height below 180px, but the image will not be clear.
  • Has a 1:1 aspect ratio.

Facebook Business Page Profile Picture (180 x 180 px)

Facebook used to have different rules for business page’s profile pictures, but not anymore. Now the dimensions are exactly the same as the personal profile picture.

We just wanted to include this section in case you came looking for it.

Guidelines

  • Needs a minimum width of 180px.
  • Can have a height below 180px, but the image will not be clear.
  • Has a 1:1 aspect ratio.

Facebook cover image size: 800 x 312 px

Introduced in 2011, Facebook cover photos give you a huge chunk of space at the top of your profile (or page) to stick a photo of your choice (or a video on your page).

This is a great way to add a bit more character to your profile without sacrificing your pretty profile picture.

Guidelines

  • Minimum width of 400px.
  • Minimum height of 150px.
  • All of these dimensions apply to page cover photos.
  • If you want to add a cover video to your page, get all the details here.

Facebook shared link image size: 1200 x 628 px

This refers to the image Facebook uses when it generates a box from a shared link. Along with the image you also get the content’s title and description.

Getting the image size right is integral to make to your content look good whenever someone shares it on Facebook. Get it wrong and the image can be cropped poorly or stretched out.

You can choose the image Facebook uses by setting up social meta tags. Find out more on that subject here.

Guidelines

  • Consider how the image will fit with your content’s title and description
  • If one isn’t set, Facebook will try and pull one in from the content
  • The aspect ratio is 1.9:1

Facebook shared image size: 1200 x 630 px

That’s the best recommendation for making an image look good and be sure it won’t get distorted, but there can be some leeway.

Taller and shorter pictures are often seen on Facebook, so while 1200px is good rule to stick to, you can push the height a bit as detailed below:

Guidelines

  • Maximum height of 1800px before images are cropped.
  • Recommended aspect ratio is 3:2.
  • Facebook will auto crop or resize when you go over limits so always test your image.

Facebook event cover image size: 1920 x 1080

It wasn’t just the profile pages that got the cover image treatment. Events also let you put a massive picture up to encourage people to attend your amazing gig, play, or whatever else.

There’s also the option to include video here, perfect for really getting across the event vibes. You can get full details on getting videos right here.

Guidelines

  • Minimum width is 400x
  • Minimum height is 150px
  • Aspect ratio is 16:9
