What are the dimensions of my Page's profile image and also cover picture?

Your Page's profile image:

- Screens at 160 × 160 pixels on your Page on computer systems, 140 × 140 pixels on smartphones and also 50 × 50 pixels on many attribute phones
- Must go to the very least 180 × 180 pixels
- Will certainly be chopped to fit a square
- Lies 16 pixels from the left and 176 pixels from the top of your cover image on computer systems
- Lies 24 pixels from the left, 24 pixels from the bottom and 196 pixels from the top of your cover picture on mobile phones

Your Page's cover image:

- Displays at 851 pixels large by 315 pixels high on your Page on computers as well as 640 pixels broad by 360 pixels high on smartphones
- Does not show on attribute phones
- Should go to least 399 pixels wide and also 150 pixels high
- Loads fastest as an sRGB JPG file that's 851 pixels wide, 315 pixels high and also less than 100 kilobytes
-For profile images as well as cover images with your logo design or text, you may obtain a much better outcome using a PNG documents.

What regarding the resolution?

Along with this dimension change we have actually opted for a high resolution recommendation since we are likewise considering the surge of higher res tools such as Retina Display-- you desire your cover pictures to look all crisp and clear there too don't you! 1920px x 1080px future proofs you to some extent and covers off practically other gadget presently on the marketplace.

On resolution Facebook doesn't aid when it states "Keep in mind that your cover picture have to go to the very least 400 pixels broad and also 150 pixels tall". This is merely a minimum dimension and in our experience we discover it way also grainy as well as the recommendations gives no support on risk-free areas for text.

So long as it's not an insane dimension you will not be penalised for posting a good big high res picture (this utilized to be the instance with Facebook Teams where compression was used) yet no more.

One word of caution, depending upon the display you make use of to view (i.e. non high res/retina screen), you might discover the picture a little blurry. We have actually try out JPG vs PNG as well as a variety of dimensions from 640x360 all the way to 1640x923. Now 820x461 usually looks the sharpest on older screens however we would certainly still advise 1920px x 1080px for ideal future proofing.
