Getting the Facebook event cover right

Event covers are seen in more places than almost any other Facebook image — the event page, invitations, reminders and shares — always in the same wide 1.91:1 shape.

📅

Seen in invites and feeds

The cover travels with every invitation and reminder, often as a small thumbnail.

↔

Wide 1.91:1 shape

The same shape as link previews, so shared events look right too.

📝

Few, big words

Event name, date and place in large type stay readable when the image is small.

🎨

Poster to banner

Use the main image from your poster and rebuild the text for the wide frame.

You choose the crop

Filling 1920×1005 from a 4:3 phone photo trims about 30% of it. Drag the preview to choose what stays, or tick the fit option to keep everything.

Turning a poster into an event cover

Posters are the wrong shape. Most event posters are tall, but the event cover is wide (1.91:1). Rather than squeezing the whole poster in, use the key image and add the title, date and place as large text across the middle.

It is shown small in invites. The same image appears as a thumbnail in notifications and the events list, so the event name must still be readable when the picture is a fraction of its size. Three to six words is plenty.

Lighter option. 1200×628 has the same shape and is also accepted; 1920×1005 simply gives more detail on large screens. Both are the 1.91:1 link-preview shape, so the cover also looks right when the event is shared.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a Facebook event cover photo?

1920×1005 pixels (a 1.91:1 ratio) is the recommended size. 1200×628 has the same shape and also works.

Can I use a vertical poster as a Facebook event cover?

Facebook will crop it to the wide shape and cut most of it off. Resize the poster to 1920×1005 here and drag the preview to choose which part stays, or tick the fit option to place the whole poster on a background.

Why is my event cover cropped in the invitation?

Invitations and lists show a smaller version. Keep the title and date in the centre, away from the edges, so they survive any small crop.

Do event covers use the same size as Facebook ads?

They share the 1.91:1 shape with link and landscape ad images, so one design can be reused for both at banner or link-image sizes.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
