Why Facebook crops and blurs your photos
Facebook fits every upload into fixed display slots. When an image does not match the slot's aspect ratio, Facebook center-crops it, which is how cover photos lose their edges and product shots lose their captions. Oversized files also get recompressed on upload, softening detail. Cropping to the exact display size first means what you approve is what people see.
Which Facebook size should you pick?
Link and feed posts display around 1200 × 630, while square and portrait photos give you more height in the mobile feed. Cover photos are the trickiest: the 820 × 312 desktop crop trims the sides on mobile, so keep logos and text near the middle. Profile pictures display small and circular in comments, so a tight, centered subject at 720 × 720 reads best.
After the resize
Download as JPG for photos or PNG for graphics with text, then post it straight away or line it up in a Facebook scheduler so the post goes out when your page's audience is actually online.
Questions, answered
How do I resize a photo for Facebook?
Upload your photo, choose the Facebook format you need, drag the crop box into position, and download. The image exports at the exact pixel size Facebook displays, so nothing gets cropped or squashed after you post it.
What size should Facebook posts be?
Link and feed images display at 1200 × 630 pixels (1.91:1). Square 1080 × 1080 and portrait 1080 × 1350 photos also work in the feed and take up more vertical space on mobile.
What size is a Facebook cover photo?
Facebook displays cover photos at 820 × 312 pixels on desktop, but mobile crops the sides. Keep anything important, like text or faces, near the center of the frame.
What size should a Facebook profile picture be?
Upload at least 720 × 720 pixels. Facebook displays profile pictures as small circles in the feed and comments, so center your subject tightly.
Why do my Facebook photos look blurry?
Facebook compresses large uploads with its own settings, which softens detail. Resizing to the exact display dimensions before uploading avoids the heaviest compression and keeps your photo sharp.
Is this Facebook photo resizer free?
Yes, free with no account required, and downloads carry no watermark or usage limit.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The crop and resize run inside your browser using your device, so the photo never touches a server.
