Facebook Post Dimensions
Reference canvas: 1200 × 630 pixels (1.91:1)
A 1200 × 630 pixel image is a practical wide Facebook link-preview design at about 1.91:1. It is not a requirement for every feed photo. Square, portrait, Story, and ad placements need their own compositions and publishing checks.

Separate link previews from uploaded photos
For a shared web page, publish the image in og:image metadata at a public URL. For a direct upload or ad, inspect that placement’s preview. The same source may be cropped differently in each context.
How to check the export
Check the final file’s pixel dimensions and crop, then preview it where it will be used. Compare text, edges, and subject detail at the displayed size. Keep an original so another crop or a less compressed export can be made without starting from the delivery copy.
Quick Tips
- → Keep an editable original and export a separate delivery copy.
- → Check text and subject framing at the actual display size.
- → Compare the final published result after any platform processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the only usable size?
No. This page gives a specific design size or an attributed platform recommendation. Other crops and placements can have different requirements; consult the linked reference for the destination.
Will changing DPI make this image sharper online?
Changing DPI metadata alone does not add pixels. For web display, check the source pixel dimensions, rendered CSS size, device pixel density, and compression quality.
