This guide helps you create Facebook images that look clean, professional, and readable on phones, tablets, and desktop screens.

Recommended Facebook Image Sizes

Best Size for Most Facebook Posts

For everyday Facebook posts, use:

1200 × 1200 px square

This size works well for Page posts, booklet promotions, photography previews, website launch graphics, and simple advertising posts.

Best Size for Stories and Reels

For Facebook Stories and Reels, use:

1080 × 1920 px vertical

This fills the phone screen and is best for quick updates, launch reminders, behind-the-scenes posts, short videos, and vertical graphics.

Best Size for Website Link Previews

For links shared from your website, use:

1200 × 630 px

This is a good wide format for website preview images, article images, tutorial pages, and academy pages.
