Instead of trying to keep up with changes in Facebook Cover & Timeline Photos by searching the Internet, we created a guide online that always has the latest sizes!
The Overview
Have a custom app in your app tabs? Replace it with a customized tab to fit your brand. Here is an example.
Look Your Best
The Cover Photo is the first impression moment. It must give your prospect a quick idea of what you are, what you do, and how you can be valuable to them.
The Cover Photo
Mary expresses her personality in one fell swoop!
An Example
Remember that when the page loads in the browser, the darkened area will not be shown without the user scrolling up. Make sure your messages are, in this case, below the fold.
The Cover Photo
The possibilities are endless!
An Example
This one is a little tricky to get right, but with some practice, it will line up just right! Design it at 160 x 160 and then enlarge it to 180 x 180 before uploading. It’ll be back to the proper size when it finishes up.
The Profile Photo
Have a custom app in your app tabs? Replace it with a customized tab to fit your brand. Here is an example.
The App Tab Photo
Photos in the stream appear at 403px x 403px. In order to capture the maximum amount of real estate avaliable, make sure to resize your marketing messages to fit this spec.
The Timeline Story Photo
Even in social media, we must mind the rules. Facebook does not allow cover photos that include: 1. Price/purchase information 2. Contact information 3. References to Facebook features/actions 4. Call-to-action.
Facebook Guidelines for Cover Photos
The cover photo acts as a billboard for your Facebook Page. Used in conjunction with the profile photo, you can create very cool content!
