Key takeaways
- Facebook recommends 1080×1350px for vertical feed posts, 1080×1080px for square posts, and 1080×1920px for Stories.
- Platforms recompress and crop images after upload — sizing correctly upfront avoids an unwanted crop.
Facebook image size by placement
- Feed post (vertical): 1080 × 1350px
- Feed post (square): 1080 × 1080px
- Stories: 1080 × 1920px
- Page cover photo: approximately 1640 × 856px
- Profile picture: 400 × 400px minimum
Why this matters for scheduling
A correctly-sized image publishes exactly as intended; an incorrectly-sized one gets cropped or letterboxed by Facebook after upload, which can cut off important parts of the image.
