Recommended Facebook Image Sizes & Aspect Ratios
Meta platforms use varying aspect ratios across feeds, mobile stories, group covers, and paid advertisements. Checking your image dimensions before publishing prevents unintended automatic cropping and fuzzy downscaling. Below is the verified guide to commonly recommended Facebook image working dimensions:
| Facebook Surface | Common Working Size | Aspect Ratio | Key Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Post - Portrait | 1080 x 1350 px | 4:5 | Maximizes mobile screen height in Facebook news feeds. |
| Post - Square | 1080 x 1080 px | 1:1 | Universal square feed format suited for multi-image albums. |
| Post - Landscape / Link | 1200 x 630 px | 1.91:1 | Standard widescreen shared link preview and horizontal posts. |
| Profile Picture | 800 x 800 px | 1:1 (Circle Crop) | Square source rendered as circular avatar in feeds & comments. |
| Cover Photo | 820 x 312 px | 2.63:1 (Banner) | Keep central content within 640 x 312 px for mobile screens. |
| Facebook Story | 1080 x 1920 px | 9:16 | Full-screen vertical format; avoid top & bottom text cutoffs. |
| Facebook Reel | 1080 x 1920 px | 9:16 | Vertical 9:16 format with center safe zone for captions & audio tags. |
| Event Cover | 1920 x 1005 px | 1.91:1 | Commonly recommended working size for crisp event headers. |
| Facebook Ad (Feed / Stories) | 1080 x 1350 / 1080 x 1080 | 4:5 / 1:1 / 9:16 | Placement-dependent; adhere to Meta ad creative guidelines. |
Diagnostic Note: Images with the same aspect ratio as the recommended dimension can be scaled cleanly by Facebook. If your aspect ratio differs, outer edges will be cropped. Use our linked resizer tools above if you need to adjust framing before publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check the size of an image for Facebook?
Upload or drag your image into this Facebook Image Size Checker. The tool instantly reads your image's exact pixel width, height, aspect ratio, file format, and file size in your browser without uploading to a server, then compares it directly against your selected Facebook placement format.
What dimensions should a Facebook image be?
Facebook does not have one universal image size because different surfaces serve distinct purposes. Common working dimensions include 1080 x 1350 px (4:5) for portrait feed posts, 1080 x 1080 px (1:1) for square posts and feed ads, 1200 x 630 px (1.91:1) for landscape posts and link previews, 1080 x 1920 px (9:16) for Stories and Reels, 1920 x 1005 px (1.91:1) for Event covers, 820 x 312 px (2.63:1) for Cover photos, and 800 x 800 px (1:1) for Profile pictures.
Can I check the aspect ratio of my Facebook image?
Yes. The checker calculates the exact aspect ratio from your image dimensions (such as 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, or 1.91:1) and compares it with a 2.5% tolerance against the selected Facebook surface so you know whether your composition matches or requires cropping.
Can this tool show if my image may be cropped on Facebook?
Yes. When your image aspect ratio differs from the selected format, the visual simulated crop preview displays an estimated crop box indicating which outer areas will likely be trimmed when Facebook displays your image.
Can I resize my image if it does not match the Facebook size?
Yes. While this checker tool performs non-destructive inspection without modifying your file, it provides a direct link to the matching ImageResizerAI resizing tool (such as the Facebook Post Resizer, Profile Resizer, Event Cover Resizer, or Ad Resizer) so you can crop, reposition, and export your image with precision.
