Facebook Timeline Cover Dimensions Updated 2019

Facebook Timeline Cover Dimensions: We often see profile pictures as well as cover photos on Facebook that don't quite in shape. Perhaps the phrasing is hidden, or it's the wrong dimensions and also doesn't all suit the space offered. It can be difficult to think what will work as well as what will not, so right here's a couple of ideas from Facebook in order to help you select a cover image or profile photo that will fit:





Facebook Timeline Cover Dimensions

What are the dimensions of my Page's account picture as well as cover picture?



Your Page's profile image:


- Screens at 160 × 160 pixels on your Page on computers, 140 × 140 pixels on mobile phones and also 50 × 50 pixels on a lot of feature phones
- Need to be at the very least 180 × 180 pixels
- Will certainly be chopped to fit a square
- Is located 16 pixels from the left and 176 pixels from the top of your cover picture on computer systems
- Is located 24 pixels from the left, 24 pixels from the bottom and also 196 pixels from the top of your cover photo on smart devices



Your Page's cover image:

- Displays at 851 pixels broad by 315 pixels high on your Page on computers and also 640 pixels wide by 360 pixels tall on smart devices
- Doesn't display on feature phones
- Must go to least 399 pixels broad and also 150 pixels high
- Lots fastest as an sRGB JPG file that's 851 pixels wide, 315 pixels tall as well as less than 100 kilobytes
-For account pictures as well as cover photos with your logo design or text, you may obtain a much better result using a PNG file.

What about the resolution?

Along with this measurement change we have actually gone with a high resolution referral since we are additionally thinking about the rise of higher res gadgets such as Retina Show-- you desire your cover photos to look all crisp and also clear there too don't you! 1920px x 1080pxfuture proofs you to some extent as well as covers off virtually other device presently on the marketplace.

On resolution Facebook does not help when it says "Bear in mind that your cover photo have to go to the very least 400 pixels broad and 150 pixels high". This is simply a minimum dimension as well as in our experience we find it way too rough and also the advice gives no guidance on safe locations for text.

So long as it's not an insane dimension you will not be penalised for posting a great large high res photo (this used to be the case with Facebook Groups where compression was used) yet no more.

One word of warning, relying on the display you make use of to view (i.e. non high res/retina display), you may discover the picture a little unclear. We've experimented with JPG vs PNG and a variety of dimensions from 640x360 right to 1640x923. Currently 820x461 often looks the sharpest on older display screens but we 'd still advise 1920px x 1080px for finest future proofing.
