Facebook Reel Cover Image Dimensions & Thumbnail Guide
Your Facebook Reel cover is the primary hook that convinces viewers to click and watch when scrolling through news feeds, creator video tabs, and suggested reels. Sizing and composing your thumbnail accurately ensures vital titles and faces are not obscured:
| Parameter | Specification | Design Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Full Reel Cover Size | 1080 x 1920 px | Standard full-screen 9:16 vertical resolution for smartphones. |
| Aspect Ratio | 9:16 Vertical | Fills modern mobile screens seamlessly without black bars. |
| Center Safe Area | Middle 60% of Frame | Place faces, branding, and hook headlines within the central zone. |
| Profile Grid Crop | 1:1 Center Square | Facebook grids display the center square portion in profile video tabs. |
| Top & Bottom Margins | Keep Free of Vital Text | Avoid placing titles where audio headers or captions and like buttons sit. |
Composition Tip: Check both the live 9:16 vertical thumbnail and the 1:1 center grid preview above. If your headline text or subject gets cut off in the square preview, drag the canvas or adjust zoom so the core visual sits comfortably in the safe composition center.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a Facebook Reel cover image be?
The recommended size for a Facebook Reel cover image is 1080 x 1920 pixels with a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio. This resolution matches full-screen smartphone displays and ensures your thumbnail looks crisp when users browse reels on Facebook.
Can I resize an image to 1080 x 1920 for a Facebook Reel cover?
Yes. This tool automatically sets the output canvas to 1080 x 1920 pixels. You can choose Crop to Fill to cover the full vertical area cleanly or Fit / No Crop to preserve your entire original image with a stylish blurred background.
Can I crop, move, and zoom my image before downloading it?
Yes. You can drag and position your focal subject anywhere inside the 9:16 frame, scale with the zoom slider or mouse wheel (from 50% to 300%), and click Center Image or Reset Zoom at any time to re-align your framing.
Where should I place text and important content on a Facebook Reel cover?
Keep faces, logos, product highlights, and headline text within the central area of the cover. Facebook overlays the creator header at the top and the video caption, profile tag, and engagement buttons near the bottom. The built-in composition guide shows where these overlays appear.
Can I download my Facebook Reel cover as JPG, PNG, or WebP?
Yes. Under the Advanced Settings drawer, you can choose to export your final 1080 x 1920 Reel cover in JPG, PNG, or WebP format, and adjust the image quality slider to match your upload preference.
