Design tips

Facebook event cover photos should be 1920×1005 pixels with a 1.91:1 aspect ratio. This is the updated dimension that prevents the awkward mobile cropping that occurred with the older 1920×1080 recommendation. The event cover is the first visual people see when they find your event, so getting the size right is essential.

  • Use 1920×1005px (1.91:1) instead of 1920×1080 (16:9) to avoid mobile cropping.
  • Keep critical content in the upper two-thirds — the bottom is covered by event details and buttons.
  • Test the cover on mobile before publishing since cropping behavior varies by device.

What you need to know

Facebook event covers display differently on desktop and mobile. On desktop, the full 1920×1005 image is visible as a wide banner above the event details. On mobile, the image is cropped to a taller aspect ratio, cutting the left and right edges. The 1.91:1 ratio (1920×1005) is the sweet spot that minimizes cropping across both views.

The older recommendation of 1920×1080 (16:9) causes visible cropping on mobile devices — the left and right edges get cut off. Facebook updated their recommendation to 1920×1005, which maps to the same 1.91:1 ratio used by link preview images and ad images across Meta's platforms.

The bottom of the event cover is overlaid with the event title, date, location, and RSVP buttons on both desktop and mobile. Keep important text and faces in the upper two-thirds of the image. Facebook's minimum accepted size is 400×150, but at that resolution the image will look blurry on modern screens.

Safe zone: The bottom of the event cover is partially obscured by the event title, date, and action buttons on mobile. Keep important content in the upper two-thirds.
