The size

About 820×312 for the cover photo

A Facebook Page cover photo displays at about 820×312 on desktop and a taller crop on mobile (around 640×360 visible), so the safe approach is to keep your subject centered and away from the very edges. This cropper locks to the cover ratio; you can also type exact pixels. Cropping it yourself avoids Facebook’s automatic repositioning, which often cuts off the wrong part.

Desktop vs mobile

Center for both layouts

Because desktop shows a wider crop and mobile a narrower one, important text and logos belong in the central area that appears on every device. Export JPG for photos or PNG for graphics with text. Use a high-resolution source so the cover stays sharp when Facebook scales it.

Desktop vs mobile

Two different crops of one image

A Facebook cover does not show the same way everywhere. On desktop it displays at about 820×312; on mobile a taller, narrower area is visible (around 640×360), and the left and right edges are cropped off. Because of that, the only region guaranteed to appear on every device is the center. Keep your logo, tagline and key subject in that central area, leave generous margins, and avoid placing anything important near the edges. After uploading, check the cover on both a phone and a computer, and reposition if Facebook has cropped something you wanted to keep.

Cover contexts

Page, group and event covers differ

Facebook uses slightly different cover dimensions for Pages, Groups and Events, and the displayed crop shifts between them. Rather than chase each exact number, crop a clean 820×312-style image with your subject centered and plenty of edge margin, and it will adapt acceptably across contexts. Export JPG for photos or PNG for graphics with text, and start from a high-resolution source so Facebook’s scaling keeps it sharp. For the matching link-preview image that appears when you share a page, the OG image cropper crops the 1200×630 card, and the crop by size tool covers any exact dimensions.

Free & private

Free, no watermark, nothing uploaded

The Facebook Cover Cropper is free to use, with no watermark, no account and no upload. The whole tool runs in your browser on the HTML canvas, which means your images are processed on your own device and never sent anywhere — it is fast, completely private, and keeps working offline once the page has loaded. It behaves the same on Windows, macOS, Android and iPhone, with a crop box you can drag with a mouse or your finger, and you can crop as many images as you like in one sitting without reloading. Export to PNG or WebP to preserve transparency, or JPG when you want the smallest possible photo file. The crop frame is locked to the right shape, so every result is consistent without manual measuring.
