How to create a Facebook cover
Creating a cover for Facebook is quite simple, but it is also necessary to know what are the size limits supported by the social network, so as to avoid errors with images that are too large or worse, images that are too small or with the wrong aspect ratio.
Ideal Facebook cover size
As Facebook advises it is advisable to prepare a cover image that has the following dimensions:
- A width of 820 pixels and a height of 312 pixels to be displayed correctly on computers; the same image is resized to a width of 640 pixels and a height of 360 pixels on smartphones.
- In order to upload the cover it must have a minimum width of 400 pixels and a height of at least 150 pixels.
- The best results are obtained with a JPG format image file with a width of 851 pixels and a height of 315 pixels, with a file size of less than 100 kilobytes.
If instead of a personal cover image we want to insert the company logo or a cover with text, it is better to focus on the PNG image format, so as to obtain higher quality and avoid grainy effects typical of JPG files.
