What size is a Facebook cover photo?

A Facebook page cover is 1640 by 856 pixels. Desktop and mobile crop it differently, so only a centred 1090 by 566 region is guaranteed to be visible everywhere. Put every word inside that box.

Composition

The safe area

Dashed: 1090 × 566

Only a centred 1090 × 566 region of this 1640 × 856 image is safe. Facebook crops the sides away on mobile and the top and bottom on desktop. Anything outside that box can be cut or covered, so the headline, the logo and every word you need read belong inside it.

The profile picture overlaps the lower left on desktop. Composition stays clear of it.

Facebook lays your own profile picture over the lower left of this image, at roughly 36% of its height. That corner is left clear, which is why the artwork above is weighted away from it.
