--- title: "Resize an Image to Facebook Cover Photo Size | Made" description: "Resize a photo for a Facebook cover in Made — sized for the ~820 × 312 desktop and 640 × 360 mobile displays, with the subject kept in the safe zone." url: https://www.made.app/tools/image-resizer/facebook-cover --- [Tools](https://www.made.app/tools) / [Image Resizer](https://www.made.app/tools/image-resizer) / Facebook Cover Photo Resizer # Facebook Cover Photo Resizer Facebook displays covers at roughly 820 × 312 on desktop and 640 × 360 on mobile, cropping the same upload differently on each. Made resizes your photo to cover dimensions so you control the crop instead of Facebook. ## How to use Facebook Cover Photo Resizer 1. **Upload a wide image** Covers are strongly horizontal — start from a landscape photo or design at least 1640 pixels wide for a sharp result. 2. **Ask for cover dimensions** Say “resize this to 1640 by 624 for a Facebook cover.” That is double the desktop display size, so it stays sharp on high-density screens. 3. **Keep the subject central** Desktop shows a wider, shorter slice than mobile. Content in the horizontal and vertical center survives both crops. 4. **Download and upload to Facebook** Save the file and set it as your cover, then check the preview on both a desktop browser and the mobile app. ## Facebook Cover Photo Resizer examples Real results from Made.

Uploading at 1640 × 624 keeps the desktop display sharp on retina screens while staying within a layout both devices crop predictably. **Why does my cover look different on my phone?** Desktop and mobile crop the same upload differently — desktop shows a wider, shorter slice; mobile shows a narrower, taller one. Keep faces, logos, and text near the center, which both layouts display. **Should I crop or pad my photo for a cover?** Crop (cover mode) is almost always right for covers, since padding bars look unfinished at the top of a profile. Use Made to place the crop so the subject sits in the shared safe zone. **Why does Facebook blur my cover photo?** Small or heavily compressed uploads get upscaled and re-compressed by Facebook. Upload at 1640 × 624 or larger, and keep the file reasonably light — compressing to around 200KB avoids Facebook applying its own aggressive compression. **Can I use a portrait photo as a cover?** Only a horizontal slice of it will show. Made can crop the best strip out of it, or use Image Extender to generate scenery on both sides so the full subject fits a wide frame.
