What Cover Image size \u00a0to use?<\/strong><\/strong>
\nIts is a good idea to upload a high resolution image with exact size of 851px wide and 315px height which fill fit perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"timeline<\/p>\n

What is the minimum width of the Cover Photo?<\/strong>
\nOfficially Facebook FAQ says your cover image must be least 399 pixels wide and 150 pixels tall. Smaller images will get upload errors. I tried to upload a smaller image and got a message to upload cover photo at least 399px wide. I was able to upload images 399px wide and above (which were zoomed out and could not be re-positioned). Any image height is accepted it seems.<\/p>\n

\"cover<\/p>\n

What if you use cover photo of any other size?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly Facebook Cover photos below allowed size will not be accepted for Cover Photo upload. If you upload any other size, Facebook \u00a0will be forced to resize \/ virtually crop the image, which will make it distorted and pixelated. Upload the exact size.<\/p>\n

Can you crop \/ edit the Cover Photo?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFacebook will only allow you to reposition the Cover image if you upload a larger image . For most large images, this will work more like moving the image ‘up and down’ till you get all the area of your interest in the fixed size of 851×315. Then you can save your Facebook Cover.<\/p>\n

Can other people save Cover Photos?<\/strong>
\nThis image is visible for public use and can be saved. What is important is that this is like a virtual crop, so if people decide to right click and save your Facebook cover, they will save the full uncropped image<\/em>. e.g. if you upload a big full size photo of yourself, and then decide to make the head as you cover photo, people saving the image can see the full image. So its a good idea to upload the exact size.<\/p>\n

Remember all cover images are\u00a0public, so choose wisely as all will be able to see them.<\/p>\n

What is the Facebook cover size on mobile phones?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The same image will appear in a size of 640px wide and 360px tall on smartphones. They say an image of less than 100kb JPG file will load fastest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
