Facebook cover, square post and story background sizes

Prepare a simple background for a Facebook cover, post, or story. These common canvas sizes are convenient design starting points rather than a guarantee of how every device will crop an upload. Choose your colors, download the background, and add your message in an image editor before posting. Begin with the 1640 × 624 cover canvas, 1080 × 1080 square post or 1080 × 1920 story preset; make a separate image for each placement instead of stretching one file.

How to make a Facebook cover, post or story background

A cover, a square post, and a story have different proportions. Pick the intended placement before deciding where text or artwork should sit.

Export separate Facebook cover and post canvas sizes

The cover canvas is much wider than a square post. Start with its preset when you want a profile or page backdrop, then create a separate square or portrait version for other placements. Stretching one finished design into every shape can distort its content.

Leave room for the platform interface

Covers can crop differently across screens and may overlap profile interface elements. Keep the background flexible and place any important text toward a safe central area in your own editor. These presets are starting canvases, so check the upload preview on the destination service.

Inspect the uploaded version

The downloaded file is only the source asset. The destination may resize or compress it, so inspect fine text and subtle gradients after upload. If a narrow cover loses important content, simplify the composition rather than making lettering smaller. This independent generator does not connect to or publish through a Facebook account.

Facebook Image: questions & answers

Everything you need before your next download.

Which Facebook canvas size should I choose?

Choose the cover, post, or story preset that matches your design. Facebook can crop images differently across devices, so preview your upload and keep important content away from the edges.

Is this an official Facebook tool?

No. This is an independent image generator that provides convenient canvas presets for your own designs.

Start your next creation with a simple image

Set the mood for a social post, refresh your wallpaper, or give a presentation a clean opening. Pick a canvas and make it yours.

Put your favorite colors on your screen

A soft sunset gradient or a quiet wash of color can make a screen feel like yours. Choose a 4K desktop canvas or a portrait phone size, then build a wallpaper around your own palette.

Give your next presentation a clean opening

Leave room for your ideas with a white canvas, or set the tone with a simple gradient. Start at 1920 × 1080, then add your title in a slide app or use the background for a project cover.
