Facebook Cover Photo Generator
Design a Facebook Page cover that looks right on phones and computers, see exactly where your profile photo covers it, then download a sharp, correctly sized image.
Exports at 1702 by 630 pixels
This is your cover on a phone, where most people see it. Computers show the whole cover, shaded sides included, so keep only background there. The striped area is covered by your profile photo on phones and in narrower computer windows, so keep it clear.
Background & layers
1702 x 630 px, 2x Facebook's recommended 851 x 315, so text stays sharp on high-res screens. PNG keeps text and logos crisp; JPG is a smaller file for photo-heavy designs.

Why Facebook Cover Photos Matter for Your Business
First Impressions
Your Facebook cover photo is prime real estate. It's the first thing visitors see when they land on your page. A professional, eye-catching cover instantly communicates credibility and sets the tone for your brand.
Free Advertising Space
Unlike ads that cost money, your cover photo is free promotion. Use it to highlight current offers, showcase your services, or display your contact information, visible to every visitor without spending a dime.
Built for Phones
Almost everyone visits Facebook on a phone, where both sides of your cover are cut off and your profile photo covers the bottom middle. The editor previews your cover the way phones show it, stripes the area your profile photo covers, and the design check flags anything cut off or hidden.
Stay Fresh
Updating your cover for seasonal promotions, new services, or special events shows your business is active. Your last design is saved in your browser, so a quick refresh takes a minute.
Facebook Cover Photo Size and Safe Zones (2026)
Upload size: 851 x 315 pixels (or a sharper 1702 x 630)
Facebook recommends 851 x 315. That's a 2.7:1 shape, which is exactly the frame Facebook uses on computers today. This tool downloads at double that size so text stays crisp on high-resolution screens.
Wide screens show the whole cover
In a wide browser window, logged-in visitors see your whole cover with your profile photo sitting below it, so nothing is covered. People who aren't logged in see the profile photo over the bottom-left corner instead.
Narrow windows and phones cover the bottom middle
In a narrower browser window, Facebook centers your profile photo over the bottom edge of your cover, and the narrower the window, the more it covers. On phones (the Facebook app and mobile browsers) the photo is bigger and covers much of the bottom middle, and both sides of the cover are cut off, so only about the middle 470 of 851 pixels show. The striped circle in the editor covers both cases, so keep text and logos inside the dashed safe zone and out of the stripes.
PNG for text, JPG for photos
Facebook recommends PNG when your cover has a logo or text, because JPG compression blurs sharp edges. For photo-heavy covers, JPG gives a smaller file that loads faster.
Tips for Effective Cover Photos
- Keep it in the top middle: phones cut off both sides and your profile photo covers the bottom middle, so put your name and message up top, near the center.
- Include a call to action: tell visitors what to do, like "Call Now", "Book Online", or "Visit Our Website". The Box style makes a great button.
- Show your phone number: make it easy for customers to contact you directly.
- Use high-contrast colors: over a photo, turn on Shadow or lower the photo's opacity so text stays readable.
- Keep it simple: one photo, your name, one message, and one way to reach you beats a crowded cover.
