Facebook group cover photos are recommended at 1640×922 pixels (16:9 aspect ratio). The cover is the first visual people see when they visit or are invited to your group. On mobile, the bottom portion is overlaid with the group name and member count, so keep important content in the upper two-thirds.
- •Upload at 1640×922px (16:9) for the sharpest display across devices.
- •Keep text and key visuals in the upper two-thirds — the bottom is overlaid with group info on mobile.
- •Group covers are separate from page covers — they use different aspect ratios (16:9 vs 2.7:1).
What you need to know
Group covers display as a large header image at the top of the group page. On desktop, the full width is visible with the group name and description below. On mobile, the group name, privacy badge, and member count overlay the bottom portion of the cover image, obscuring roughly the lower 20%.
Unlike personal profile and page covers (which use a 2.7:1 ratio), group covers use a taller 16:9 aspect ratio. This gives you more vertical space to work with, but also means you can't reuse the same cover design between your page and your group without resizing.
Group covers can be changed by any group admin. For active communities, rotating the cover image seasonally or for events keeps the group feeling fresh. Some admins use the cover to communicate rules, upcoming events, or the group's mission.
