When users visit your Facebook Page, where do you think they&#8217;ll look first? It&#8217;s your Facebook cover photo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though content and storytelling are the best way for brand awareness, but the first impression they get of your brand will always be the visuals. Facebook cover photos are a perfect example of how social media marketing is different from just regular social media usage. A great personal cover photo can be anything that we think looks great on profile; our business cover photos need to do much more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between logos, website layouts, or your Facebook cover photo, it\u2019s the images that lay the foundation for your online reputation. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why having the right Facebook cover photo size lets you demonstrate your personality, brand story, and even purpose as a company. It also must be high-quality and perfectly optimized for display; this means knowing the perfect Facebook cover photo size.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hit The <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Play<\/span> Button To Listen To The Podcast:<\/h5>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-10299-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/socinator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Facebook-Cover-Photo-101-All-You.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/socinator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Facebook-Cover-Photo-101-All-You.mp3\">http:\/\/socinator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Facebook-Cover-Photo-101-All-You.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>In this article, we will discuss everything about Facebook cover photo. What it is? What are the perfect size and dimensions? And how to choose or how to change a cover photo on Facebook? Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0000ff;\">What Is Facebook Cover Photo?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Facebook cover photo is a visual piece of content that sits at the top of your Page. Its dimensions are 820 pixels wide by 312 pixels tall. It takes up almost a quarter of the screen on most desktop browsers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook cover photos appear exclusively on your individual Facebook timeline. This means your followers will need to visit your profile to see them. They will also see on their timeline when you change your cover photo image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, thanks to the size of the image, users often convey more information through a cover photo than a profile picture. Cover photos may include photos of a product or team, promotions, or merely an entertaining graphic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0000ff;\">How To Choose the Right Facebook Cover Photo Size?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/socinator.com\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10302 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/socinator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-choose-the-right-facebook-cover-photo-size.png\" alt=\"how-to-choose-the-right-facebook-cover-photo-size\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socinator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-choose-the-right-facebook-cover-photo-size.png 1600w, https:\/\/socinator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-choose-the-right-facebook-cover-photo-size-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/socinator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-choose-the-right-facebook-cover-photo-size-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/socinator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-choose-the-right-facebook-cover-photo-size-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/socinator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-choose-the-right-facebook-cover-photo-size-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Facebook cover photo size is 820 pixels wide by 312 pixels tall on a desktop. However, mobile users will see 640 pixels wide by 360 pixels tall. The correct Facebook cover photo size is the first step to portraying the right image on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it is too big, important parts of your content will get cropped out. If it is too small, your image will look stretched and pixelated. Here are some more notes on having the best Facebook cover photo:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must have a minimum size of 400 x 150 pixels.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no display available on feature phones.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the best results, upload an sRGB JPG file less than 100 KB.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For images with a logo or text, it might be best as a PNG file.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook Business Page dimensions are exactly the same as personal accounts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, your Facebook cover photo doesn\u2019t necessarily need to be static anymore. You can now use a simple video instead of a static cover photo, which is a great way to share more information about how your business works. Your video should be the same size as a standard desktop cover photo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brand-approved media at your team\u2019s fingertips with Sprout\u2019s Asset Library<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0000ff;\">Facebook Event Cover Photo Size Guidelines?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selecting the correct Facebook event photo size and dimensions means the key parts of your image will be centered correctly without unexpected cropping and will display crisply on every device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current Facebook event photo size guidelines are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previous size: 1920 x 1080 pixels (16:9 ratio)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recommended size: 1920 x 1005 pixels (16:9 ratio)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum dimensions: 470 \u00d7 174<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook scales down to the minimum dimensions in the feed, but uploading the larger size ensures you\u2019ll get an image that displays well on any format. If you continue to create event cover images that are 1080 pixels call, Facebook will automatically shorten them to fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just ensure the most essential elements of your image, like text details, are centered to avoid cropping and our recommended size of a 16:9 image should help you get a crisp image every time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0000ff;\">Where Your Facebook Event Image Appears:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook has made several changes to the event photo over the last few years. Now the event photo has three different locations, but the recommended event photo size of 1920 x 1005 will scale to work for all three.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upcoming Events: Displayed as a thumbnail, you can see the Facebook event photo in your upcoming events.

While videos help you to go the extra mile in telling your company narrative, you\u2019ll still need to be smart when choosing what to showcase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following tips will help you to select the perfect Facebook cover photo:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abide By Facebook&#8217;s Cover Photo Guidelines:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this might seem like an obvious step, you\u2019d be surprised how many people overlook social media rules and do their own thing. While you\u2019re checking out the specs for Facebook cover photos, make sure you check out other branded profile guidelines too. Remember:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Covers need to be authentic: In other words, they can\u2019t be deceptive, misleading, or malicious in any way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Covers are public: You must choose something that\u2019s going to appeal to a wide audience of potential followers and existing fans.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Covers are yours alone: Brands can\u2019t ask advocates to load their Facebook cover photo onto their timelines as an advertising technique.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep the rest of your Facebook presence looking just as professional as your up-to-date cover photo, check out the Facebook ad sizes guide and the social media image sizes guide for more help!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep It Clear &amp; Simple:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve learned the rules and you\u2019re ready to start searching for the perfect image, make sure that you choose a design that\u2019s spot on. While it might be tempting to pack your above-the-fold content full of keywords and information, your visitors look for a clean introduction to your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Show Off Your Brand\u2019s Personality:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Images are more powerful than the average business thinks. In fact, we process images up to 60,000 times faster than text. With the right Facebook photo cover, you can engage your audience and earn their attention long before they read your social media posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that in mind, it\u2019s important to ensure that your cover photo represents what your brand does. This not only helps your customer to know that they\u2019re on the right page, but it also ensures that you present a more consistent image for your company online.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Show off Brand Highlights and News:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Facebook cover photo acts a lot like a storefront. It demonstrates what you\u2019re selling to interested customers and entices them to come and learn more. Your Facebook header is the perfect place to highlight what\u2019s new with your brand and promote the latest events and products. Make sure you\u2019re leading with an image that is a compelling visual first rather than bombarding your audience with information in the cover space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few ways to do this are by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highlighting the latest products and events<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Showing off your team or your office<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Showing your product in context<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include A Shortened Link In Your Cover Photo Description:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to use your cover photo to support a Page CTA, make sure your cover photo description also includes a text CTA and links to the same offer. This way, any time people view your cover photo by itself, they can still access the link.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draw Attention To The Right Places:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to Facebook cover photo size, there are various opinions in the social media world. Some people think that it\u2019s best to combine their profile picture and cover photo into a single cohesive image. Other experts prefer to spread their imagery out so that it pulls focus to the right spaces on the page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, there\u2019s nothing to say that you can\u2019t do both things simultaneously\u2013so long as it looks good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key Characteristics Of A Successful Facebook Cover Photo:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all solution for the perfect cover photo, some of the most shareable images will include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Text: Be cautious here, a small amount of text like a brief slogan can help to describe your brand, but too much could overwhelm your photo.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotion: Happy customers or smiling staff can capture audience interest and make them excited about your organization, product, or service.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relevance: The image you choose should fit with both the nature of your company and your audience\u2019s interests.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Check Out Our Latest Posts:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/mass-follow-on-instagram-tread-carefully\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #99ccff;\">Mass Follow on Instagram: Tread Carefully<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #99ccff;\"><a style=\"color: #99ccff;\" href=\"\/blog\/pinterest-board-5-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Ultimate Guide To Pinterest Board | 05 Best Practices<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #99ccff;\"><a style=\"color: #99ccff;\" href=\"\/blog\/instagram-resolution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Everything about Instagram Resolution: Best Quality, Good Response<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0000ff;\">Wrapping It Up:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The perfect Facebook cover photo size goes a long way in helping you make a great first impression with new users.
