Cover, with the covered areas shaded
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.
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.
Desktop and mobile crop differently; the overlay shows the band both keep, which is where content has to sit.
The bottom-left corner the avatar covers is drawn, so text does not end up behind it.
A cover is usually a designed graphic, so the type and logo tools are on the same page.
Exactly 820 by 312, which is what Facebook expects and what avoids a resize on upload.
Every change redraws immediately with the overlays in place.
The canvas is set to 820 by 312, the size Facebook expects.
The overlay shows what both the desktop and mobile crops keep.
Keep them well inside the safe band and away from the profile picture corner.
Save at full resolution and upload it as your cover.
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.
Because mobile shows a narrower, taller slice of the same image. The safe-area overlay marks the band both crops keep, which is where your content needs to be.
Bottom left on a personal profile, overlapping the cover. Keep that corner clear — the overlay marks it.
You can, and the old 20 percent text limit no longer applies. Keep it central and large, because the cover is small on a phone.
