Page profile and cover

Page profile picture Recommended

320 x 320 px

Shown at 176 x 176 px on computers and 196 x 196 px on phones, cropped to a circle.

Kalam's adviceUse a logo with plenty of space around it. Facebook crops the picture to a circle, so anything near the corners disappears.

Facebook displays the cover at 16:9 on computers and 2.4:1 on phones, and the profile picture overlaps it by about 40 px on mobile.

Kalam's adviceKeep the important part of the cover to the right and centre. The left side sits under your profile picture, and phones crop the cover to a wider strip.

Kalam's adviceDesign the story frame first, then crop down. It is easier to cut a vertical design to 4:5 than to stretch a square one to full screen.
