How to resize an image for Facebook

01

Choose one source image

Drop or select one supported image. It stays on your device.

02

Choose a Facebook preset

Pick dimensions for the feed, Story, Page cover or profile placement.

Adjust the framing

Drag or zoom to keep faces, text and key graphics in view.

04

Download and preview

Upload the JPEG to a draft or publishing tool and inspect the real placement before posting.

Facebook image preset guide

These canvases cover distinct placements; they are not one universal Facebook image standard.

Link preview / wide post

Useful 1.91:1 canvas rather than a universal feed requirement.

1200 × 630

Square feed image

High-resolution square canvas for feed placements.

1200 × 1200

Story

Full-screen 9:16 creative with interface-safe space.

1080 × 1920

Page cover

Current upload recommendation; responsive display still varies.

851 × 315

Profile photo

Square source above Facebook's current 320×320 quality guidance.

360 × 360

Before publishing on Facebook

Design for the placement

A wide link preview, square feed image and vertical Story serve different contexts.

Leave interface-safe space

Story controls and captions can cover content near the top and bottom.

Center Page-cover details

Cover cropping changes across viewport sizes, so edge content is vulnerable.

Prepare for circular profile display

Keep faces and logos away from the corners of the square source.

Preview after upload

The exported dimensions do not reproduce Facebook's responsive rendering.

Use a strong source

Upscaling a small original creates more pixels but not more real detail.

What the resizer actually does

The source scales until it fills the selected target. A different aspect ratio is cropped equally around the center, and the crop can be repositioned.

Every preset exports JPEG at fixed quality 88. The tool does not preserve transparency or metadata, generate platform safe zones, or preview Facebook's responsive crop.

Common Facebook image-resize mistakes

Calling every preset a Facebook requirement

Feed and responsive placements support multiple sizes and ratios.

Missing the crop

A mismatched source loses content around opposite edges. Use Adjust framing to reposition it.

Ignoring Story interface areas

Important text near the top or bottom may be covered in the app.

Expecting PNG or transparency

Every preset downloads as JPEG at fixed quality 88.

Upscaling a small profile image

The correct output dimensions cannot restore missing facial or logo detail.

Skipping real-placement previews

Cover and profile images can crop differently across devices and contexts.

Frequently asked questions

Is 1200 by 630 required for every Facebook post?

No. It is a useful 1.91:1 canvas for link previews and wide images, not a universal requirement for every feed placement. Square and vertical assets are also used, and display can vary by placement and device.

What size is a Facebook Story image?

A 1080 by 1920 image uses the full-screen 9:16 Story ratio. Keep important text and graphics away from the top and bottom interface areas.

Will this tool crop my Facebook image?

Yes, when the source and preset have different aspect ratios. The initial crop is centered, and you can drag or zoom the image before applying a new crop.

What format and quality does the Facebook resizer export?

Every preset exports JPEG at fixed quality 88. PNG transparency, the original format and embedded metadata are not preserved.

Will the cover look identical on desktop and mobile?

Not necessarily. Facebook cover display and cropping vary by device and viewport. Keep important content near the center and preview the uploaded cover on both desktop and mobile.

Can I resize several Facebook images at once?

No. The interface accepts one source and produces one preset result at a time. You can reuse the loaded source for another preset and download each result separately.

Are my Facebook images uploaded?

No. Decoding, resizing, center-cropping and JPEG encoding happen locally in your browser.
