Facebook Profile Picture Size



Need the best Facebook image sizes?

Below are all the details you require to size your images and also graphics to look their ideal on your Facebook Fan Page. Includes Cover Image, Account Pic, and also Wall Photos.

Facebook Cover Image Capacities

Beginning at the top, your Cover Photo will be presented at 851 pixels (px) by 315px. You have the opportunity to readjust the cropping, yet can not resize the photo that you submit or pick from your Fan Page albums.

To guarantee you'll like the results, size in a photo editor before submitting. Start with a picture that's at the very least 851 pixels wide. Enlarging a lower resolution photo can make it look unclear or pixelated.

NOTE: Your Web page Name, classification, and also buttons have actually moved inside the Cover Photo since mid-June 2014. Order my template at the web link below so they won't obstruct a fundamental part of your Cover layout.

Facebook Account Photo Size

The Facebook Profile Picture is shown on your Fan Web page at 160px square, yet need to be published at the very least 180px square. You can additionally submit a larger image, ideally in a multiple of 180, such as 360, 540, or 720, and Facebook will resize it for you. This may provide you much better clarity, and will definitely provide you a larger picture in your Picture Album!

Facebook Fan Page App Images/ Thumbnails

The Application Photos, Tab Images, or Thumbnails that made use of to show up under your Cover Picture have actually relocated to the left column. Just 3 program on the web page, yet when the arrowhead is clicked, every app thumbnail can be seen. It's an excellent concept to personalize them.

The Facebook app thumbnails are still 111px wide by 74px high. Maintain them basic-- maybe simply type that shares a call-to-action.

Facebook Follower Page App Favicons
The FB Fan Web page Application utilized to have tiny 16px favicons. These have been eliminated.

Facebook Follower Page Applications

Your Follower Page app can be a single image (example right here). The width of the tab is 810px, and the optimum elevation for a full-tab image is 1200px. This is the only Facebook photo that I have actually found to have a data dimension restriction, as well as it's 400kb. Pick the suitable compression when saving your jpeg, It will not submit if larger than 400kb.

Facebook Wall Picture Dimension

Pictures shared on your wall are presented at 504 pixels large as well as up to 504 pixels high. When sizing your graphics and also images, make them at the very least 504 pixels. Facebook is suggesting 1200 pixels.

Elevation can vary-- straight as well as tall pictures will work. I made use of to suggest a tall proportion of 4:5, now these will be minimized to 504 pixels high with gray bars on the sides (see sample).

Straight photos will fill the 504 pixel width, yet will not have the impact of square. Square looks finest on the wall.

Facebook Image Customer Picture Size

Images you have actually uploaded will show up in the Image Customer, or lightbox, at the maximum resolution feasible, depending upon the dimension you posted them and the audience's display tool. The maximum Facebook picture dimension for upload as well as download is 2048 px square. If you post a larger photo, Facebook will certainly decrease it so the longest side is 2048 px. Remember that pictures can be downloaded at the complete dimension you've submitted, a minimum of up to 2048 px.

For optimal display screen, Facebook advises that you resize your images before submitting to among these widths they sustain:

  • 720 px

  • 960 px

  • 2048 px


If you upload 2048 px photos, be sure to select the Top quality alternative.
