Facebook Page Cover Photo Dimensions

THE GOOD

Facebook is just staying up to date with the moments. And these days most individuals are looking at Facebook on their phones, which indicates images should be enhanced for mobile. So in the past when you published your long, skinny cover photo, the sides got cut off when individuals took a look at know their mobile app. Now Facebook individuals will certainly see the full photo when on their phones. (Just keep in mind that the tops and bottoms will be cut off when people view on desktop!).

The new optimal mobile measurements just happen to be the same as a great deal of other things we're already familiar with! Which indicates that you can still utilize Canva design templates, you just have to go to a various section. The mobile dimensions adhere to a 16:9 ratio, which coincides as a widescreen television! In Canva you can use the YouTube Cover Art design templates, the Presentation (16:9) templates, or the Desktop computer Wallpaper themes. Many alternatives!

Additionally, now you can design every one of your cover images using the same measurements. Organisation web page, individual account, groups-- they'll all have that 16:9 proportion on mobile with a bit removed on the top and also lower for desktop computer.

THE BAD.

If you design your images in Canva, it usually takes Canva a couple of months to readjust every one of their design templates to the new measurements. Which can be frustrating! (Yet let's provide some debt. There are A Great Deal Of design templates in there! It's bound to take a while.) So you're far better off missing the Facebook Cover layout in the meantime. (Make use of the ones I mentioned above rather.).

Your cover photo will certainly look different on mobile than it does on desktop computer and also different on your phone than it does on your ipad. It's been this way permanently. But that does not imply we need to like it. So make certain if you're taking an image to use on your cover photo you leave a little extra background space so you can chop it the means you wish to and nobody's head will obtain cut off.

Even though service page, individual profile, as well as teams all have the exact same dimensions on mobile now, they're still slightly different on desktop. Annoying! They're getting closer to being regular, though!

THE UGLY.

As with every Facebook change, the rollout can be sluggish. So you may not even see any changes yet. And then someday you'll wake up and also whatever will look strange. Anticipate some transition time while everyone changes and also the changes turn out.

I woke up to this pretty little nightmare-- my cover photo for the Hive Facebook team was very goofy! The team cover photos seem to be obtaining struck the hardest. However with a little tweak and also a dashboard of redesign, now it looks excellent!

THE NEW FACEBOOK COVER IMAGE DIMENSIONS.

Style every one of your cover images (Whether it's for your service page, your individual account, or a team) to make sure that it's width: height proportion is 16:9. 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels is a great size. Despite the fact that Facebook provides smaller pixel numbers, if you submit a 1920 X 1080 picture, it will look fantastic even on the fanciest of retina displays.

Keep vital info (faces, message, etc) towards the middle of the photo. Know that when people check out your picture on desktop, the top as well as base will be cut off, so maintain that vital stuff in the middle as well as you'll be golden! (For precise numbers: if your image is 1920 pixels wide, then the center 731 pixels will be visible on desktop.).
