Understand Facebook cover photo mobile crop risk and where to keep important text or logos.

Check an imageImages never leave your device.

What this checks

  • Cover shape
  • Mobile side crop
  • Center-safe content
Wide cover images should keep important content centered because mobile views often trim the sides.

Cover photos are responsive

Facebook cover photos can show differently on desktop and mobile. A wide desktop cover may lose side content when viewed on a narrow phone screen.

Edges are less dependable

Keep names, logos, and calls to action away from the far left and right edges. Use the edges for background or supporting detail instead.

Preview the risk

Before uploading, check whether the image has enough resolution and whether the key content stays readable inside a center-safe area.
