Download a free Photoshop template for Facebook cover photos

Featuring our recommended (2018) “Universal Size” 16:9 aspect ratio for cover photo sizes on Pages, Groups and Profiles. We explain how the cover sizes work in this blog post.

For 2018 you need to be creating all cover photos (Page, Group and Profile) at 1920px x 1080px. This optimises the photos for retina screens and ensures that the full depth offered by mobile/smartphone is utilised.

The screen grab below shows how Facebook will crop your 1920px x 1080px photo on a Facebook Page. Full screen on mobile, top and bottom crop on tablet and desktop.

Facebook rather belatedly issued some recommended size guidelines after their recent Group cover photo size change. We’ve written a pretty robust post in response because we disagree with them (our size works perfectly, and crucially works across all Pages, Groups and Profiles). You can read it by clicking below:

Why Facebook’s own advice on Group cover photo size is short-sighted
