How it works

A compact workflow from input to download.

1

Add your image

Drop in a JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC file. The Facebook presets are already selected when the page loads.

2

Choose the placement

Post image, cover photo, Story, or profile picture. Each maps to the exact pixel dimensions Facebook serves.

3

Download and post

The file is produced locally and named with the platform and dimensions so you can keep variants straight.

Tool details

Practical capabilities and safeguards built into this workflow.

All four key placements

Post 1200×630, cover photo 820×312, Story 1080×1920, and the 170×170 profile picture.

Nothing is uploaded

All resizing happens in your browser. Your photos are never transmitted to or stored on a server.

Built for the cover-photo crop

Facebook shows cover photos at different crops on desktop and mobile. Resizing to 820×312 keeps the safe centre band intact.

Reads iPhone HEIC

Camera-roll photos work directly, with no separate conversion step needed first.

Less platform re-compression

Uploading a correctly sized file means Facebook re-encodes it far less aggressively, keeping detail and text crisp.

No account, no watermark

No signup, no export cap, and nothing stamped onto the image you download.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best image size for a Facebook post?
1200×630 pixels. That is the 1.91:1 ratio Facebook uses for link previews and shared images, and it renders cleanly on both desktop and mobile without cropping.
What size should a Facebook cover photo be?
820×312 pixels for desktop. Facebook crops the sides on mobile, showing roughly 640×312, so keep logos and text within the middle two-thirds of the image.
Why does Facebook crop my cover photo differently on my phone?
Facebook uses a wider crop on desktop and a narrower, taller crop on mobile from the same file. There is no single size that fills both perfectly, so the practical approach is to design at 820×312 and keep anything important centred.
Why do my Facebook images look washed out or blurry?
Facebook re-compresses uploads, and the further your file is from its target dimensions the harder it compresses. Resizing to the exact placement size first, and saving as JPEG at quality 85 or above, avoids most visible degradation.
What size is a Facebook Story?
1080×1920 pixels, a 9:16 vertical canvas. Keep text away from the top and bottom 250 pixels, where Facebook overlays profile details and interaction controls.
Are my photos uploaded to your server?
No. The tool reads your file into browser memory, resizes it on a canvas, and hands it straight back as a download. Nothing is sent anywhere.
What resolution should a Facebook profile picture be?
Upload at least 170×170 pixels. It displays as a circle, so keep faces centred — the corners of a square image are always clipped.

Facebook Image Sizes: What Actually Gets Rendered

Facebook is unusual among social platforms because the same uploaded file is displayed at several different crops depending on surface and device. A cover photo is cropped one way on desktop and another on mobile; a link preview is forced into 1.91:1 regardless of what you upload. Understanding which dimension governs which placement is the difference between a clean post and one with a headline cut in half.

Feed and link posts: 1200×630

The 1200×630 pixel image at a 1.91:1 ratio is the workhorse Facebook size. It governs shared link previews (via the Open Graph image), photo posts, and most ad placements. Facebook will accept larger files and downscale them, but it will not change the ratio — anything squarer gets centre-cropped top and bottom. If you publish a page with an Open Graph image, 1200×630 is also the size to generate, because it is what appears when someone shares your URL.

Cover photos and the mobile safe zone

The desktop cover photo canvas is 820×312 pixels. On mobile, Facebook crops roughly 90 pixels from each side, leaving about 640×312 visible. This is the single most common Facebook image mistake: a cover photo designed edge to edge on a laptop loses its left and right thirds on a phone. Design within the central 640 pixels and treat the outer edges as bleed that may or may not be seen.

Compression: why file size still matters

Facebook re-encodes every upload, and images containing text suffer most because JPEG compression artefacts cluster around sharp edges. Two habits avoid nearly all of it: resize to the exact target dimensions before uploading so Facebook does not downscale for you, and keep the file under roughly 1 MB by saving JPEG at quality 85. If a resized file is still heavier than that, the image compressor will bring it down without a visible quality cost.

Choosing a format

Use JPEG for photographs, which is what Facebook converts almost everything to anyway. Use PNG only when your image is mostly flat colour with crisp text — a logo card or a quote graphic — where lossless edges are visibly better. Facebook accepts WebP uploads but converts them, so there is no delivery benefit. For a full breakdown of every Facebook placement including events and ads, see our Facebook image sizes guide.
