Facebook image size post and cover

To have an excellent post on Facebook, we need a good ad headline and photos or a video that attracts viewers from the first 3 seconds. The first step in designing or writing a brief is to choose a Facebook image post size that won’t break. So currently, which Facebook photo sizes are the most standard and the most beautiful, Lucid Gen suggests you in this article!

Facebook image size post

With a combination of photos of different sizes, you will describe your story or product through images in a more artistic way. With a post with 2 or more photos, you need to choose a layout that matches the amount of content you want to emphasize in the article. Check out the Facebook image size posts.

Post 1 image

Do not think that 1 image is simple without choosing the size before posting.

The usual article we will use these sizes is nice:

  • 900×900 pixel (Ratio 1:1)
  • 1200×900 pixel (Ratio 1:0.75)

For the post that shares the link, that link’s Facebook image post size should be 1200×518 pixels (Ratio 1:0.432).

Story posts have a vertical size that takes up the entire screen area, and Lucid Gen recommends this size to be 1080×1920 (Ratio 9:16).

Also, if you are promoting an event, choose a photo for the event at 1200×628 (Ratio: 1:0.523) as standard.

Post 2 images

When you post 2 or more photos, you show the harmony between the message you want to emphasize and the layout of the article image. The 2 image layout is very suitable for comparative content; we have the following Facebook image size posts:

Facebook image post size 2 squares
Facebook image post size 2 squares
Facebook image size post 2 vertical images
Facebook image size post 2 vertical images
Facebook image size post 2 horizontal images
Facebook image size post 2 horizontal images
  • 2 images 900×900 pixels (Ratio 1:1): this style is funny, Lucid Gen sees very few pages using this style.
  • 2 images 448×900 pixels (Ratio 1:20009): 2 vertical images combined into a square. This style is often used to post Before and After shows , the spa industry, cosmetics, and beauty in general often use this style.
  • 2 images 900×452 pixels (Ratio 1:0.52): 2 horizontal images combined into a square. This style can also show Before and After but will be suitable for horizontal layout shooting industries such as construction, construction, design and interior decoration.

Post 3 images

When posting 3 photos, you have to start choosing the most important message for the largest image; the remaining 2 images will add descriptions or secondary messages. Facebook image size post layout 3 images as follows:

Facebook image size post 3 squares
Facebook image size post 3 squares
Facebook image size post 1 vertical 2 squares
Facebook image size post 1 vertical 2 squares
Facebook image size post 1 horizontal 2 squares
Facebook image size post 1 horizontal 2 squares
  • 3 images 900×900 pixels (Ratio 1:1): This style is more funny, more difficult to see than the 2 square ones, but maybe it will create a uniqueness for your article.
  • 1 vertical image 448×900 pixels (Ratio 1:2.009) and 2 square images 900×900 (Ratio 1:1): This style is quite nice, has both the main image and the secondary image, and the square images are not too small. .
  • 1 landscape image 900×452 pixels (Ratio 1:0.502) and 2 square images 900×900 (Ratio 1:1): For ads with 3 very sensible messages. This style is also suitable to show a set of 2 products that are 2 squares and have 1 picture that is a photo of 2 products.

Post 4 images

Talking about posts with many photos on Facebook, the 4-photo layout is the most popular today, helping you to show more messages. The 4-photo layout also gives the viewer a feeling that you have many interesting things waiting for them to discover, such as a gallery. We have Facebook image size post 4 images as follows:

Facebook image post size 4 squares
Facebook image post size 4 squares
Facebook image size post 1 vertical 3 squares
Facebook image size post 1 vertical 3 squares
Facebook image size post 1 horizontal image 3 squares
Facebook image size post 1 horizontal image 3 squares
  • 4 squares of 900×900 pixels (Ratio 1:1): This type is very reasonable to show many products of the same level.
  • 1 vertical image 598×900 pixels (Ratio 1:1.505): This style is often used by the fashion industry, men’s and women’s clothing (the first photo is the suit, the following photos are each item). A photo gallery is also very suitable for this style, the first photo is really chill.
  • 1 vertical image 900×603 pixels (Ratio 1:0.67): Promotions often use this layout because the horizontal banner above is easy to design for large messages.

Facebook cover size

Not as fixed as Facebook image post size, Facebook cover size is different every year. Every time the Facebook interface changes, the cover size changes. These are the sizes Lucid Gen measured in August 2021.

Facebook page cover photo

Facebook cover size 2021 is 940×348 on computers and 620×348 on phones. So when designing the cover photo, you need to put the important elements in the mobile area; the two outer areas are only visible for the desktop; you need to decorate it.

Hint: Facebook allows you to add multiple cover photos to make slides on cover photos; you can also add videos as cover photos. These types will require more time and effort, but you will have a more majestic Facebook cover photo.

An important Facebook business asset other than your Facebook page is your Facebook group, so it’s also important to give your group a little grooming. Facebook cover image group size 2021 is 940×348 on computers and 655×348 on phones.

How to measure Facebook cover size every time

This is perhaps the unique content that Lucid Gen has for you. I will show you how to measure Facebook cover size so that if Facebook has an update, but my article has not been updated, you can still measure it yourself.

You must use this method on a computer; right-click on the Facebook cover image > select Inspect > drag the mouse up and down the lines in the Elements panel until you see the blue area overlapping the cover image. Click on that line, and you will see the Facebook cover size displayed like this.

If you want to measure Facebook cover size on your phone, you do the same as above but click the phone icon next to the left of the Elements tab.

Also, you can see it directly on the Facebook support page, but I see they haven’t been updated for a long time; the current size is different.

Images and content are both important. In addition to beautiful images, good titles, you can also make the content more unique by writing bold text on Facebook. Hopefully, through this article suggesting Facebook image size posts, you will have more ideas for design and have an excellent article!

  1. Hi, thank you for sharing. I am trying to post one vertical on the left and only showing 3 out of 8 photos on the right side. I have seen some posts like that with a “+” sign on the bottom right photo indicating there are more to be seen.

    I have tried different ratios for the photos but still fail to achieve that layout. It always shows 5 photos in the preview. May I have your advice on what should I do?

    Thank you!
