Facebook keeps changing its preferred sizes, and uploading the wrong dimensions means awkward cropping. Resizing to the right size first puts you in control of the frame.
The recommended size
Facebook feed posts display cleanly at 1200 by 630 pixels for a landscape link image, or 1080 by 1080 for a square.
How to resize for Facebook
- Open the Facebook Post Resizer.
- Add your image.
- It is set to the correct post image dimensions, so you just position the content.
- Download and upload to Facebook.
Processing happens in your browser, so your images stay private.
Tips that help
- 1200 by 630 is the classic landscape size that also works for shared links.
- Square 1080 by 1080 takes more vertical space in the feed.
- Avoid heavy text on the image so it reads well at smaller sizes.
Finish before you post
Compress the final image with the Image Compressor so it uploads fast, and crop with Crop to Aspect Ratio if you need a different shape.
