Facebook Cover Photo Resizer — Free Online

Choose a source with enough horizontal space around its subject. A tight vertical headshot can lose most of its surroundings when cropped into a shallow strip. A landscape photograph or an already designed banner usually provides more flexibility. If a logo or complete group portrait must remain visible, compare the padded fit before deciding that filling the entire width is the better result.

Keep important wording and faces away from extreme edges. The export preview shows the file itself, not the profile picture, buttons or other elements Facebook may display nearby or over it. Avoid relying on a single desktop preview when the audience mostly visits on phones. Reopen the published cover in both contexts and keep the editable source for adjustments.

The broader Facebook Image Resizer provides profile, post and Story alternatives. If the downloaded cover is too heavy, Compress Photo Online offers a separate budget; check the dimensions again after compression. This tool does not change account visibility, create a profile picture or publish the cover. You control the final upload and should select the correct account before saving it.

Open one image and check the width and height before processing. Selecting a preset fills both fields; you can replace those values with custom pixel dimensions. The default fit fills the canvas with a centered crop. When the shapes differ, the fit controls let you keep the whole picture with padding instead, or deliberately stretch it. Padding is white for JPEG and can be transparent for PNG or WebP. The aspect lock controls dimension edits; it does not protect an off-center subject from a crop.

The resizer accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and AVIF. HEIC needs its browser decoder, downloaded when first required; AVIF support depends on the browser. JPEG, PNG and WebP retain their format, while HEIC is exported as JPEG and AVIF as PNG. If the destination needs another format, use Image to JPG or the corresponding converter. A correct filename extension alone does not mean that a file has been converted. This page resizes a still image, not a video or an animated sequence.

Review the downloaded copy at its intended display size as well as at full resolution. Enlarging a small source creates more pixels but cannot restore missing detail. Resizing sets pixel dimensions, not a guaranteed maximum in KB; Reduce Image Size handles a file budget afterward. Keep the original for another attempt, since repeatedly saving a JPEG can accumulate visible damage. The tool processes files locally without signup and does not publish to another service. On mobile, keep the tab open until the result is ready, then confirm that the saved file is the newly generated copy.
