Facebook Cover Photo Maker

Size a cover photo that works on desktop and mobile.

Cover, with the covered areas shaded

Quick Tool Overview

The Facebook Cover Photo Maker builds an 820 by 312 cover and draws the area both the desktop and mobile crops keep — the band that actually survives on every device. The profile picture corner is marked too, since it covers a meaningful part of the image on a personal profile.

About the Facebook Cover Photo Maker

The Facebook cover is unusual in that it is cropped differently on desktop and on mobile — the mobile app shows a narrower slice — so a design that works on one can lose its edges on the other.

The fix is to keep everything important inside the area both crops share, and that area is drawn as an overlay here. Upload an image at the full 820 by 312 and the overlay shows the roughly 640-pixel-wide centre band that survives on every device, plus the corner where the profile picture sits on a personal profile. Text and logo tools are included, since a cover is usually a designed graphic rather than a plain photograph.

Key features of the Facebook Cover Photo Maker

Dual-crop safe area

Desktop and mobile crop differently; the overlay shows the band both keep, which is where content has to sit.

Profile picture marked

The bottom-left corner the avatar covers is drawn, so text does not end up behind it.

Text and logo

A cover is usually a designed graphic, so the type and logo tools are on the same page.

Correct dimensions

Exactly 820 by 312, which is what Facebook expects and what avoids a resize on upload.

Live preview

Every change redraws immediately with the overlays in place.

820 by 312 pixels on desktop, displayed as 640 by 360 on mobile. Uploading at 820 by 312 and keeping the important content central covers both.
