All you need to know about Facebook Cover Photos

Facebook Cover Photo Specs

Tip: Facebook will not resize your cover photo when users switch from desktop to mobile, vice versa. Instead, they will crop out the sides so the photo fits the respective mobile/desktop dimensions. To overcome this problem, Offeo has a one size fits all cover photo dimension for you to use, so you can design without worrying about your images being cropped out.
