Resize your Facebook event cover photo
Drop a photo up to 15 MB; the box is locked to 1.91:1 and the download is a 1920x1005 PNG.
The cover gets the event seen, the attendees get it filled
A Facebook event page spreads through the people who mark themselves as going, and each of them can post a far better picture than a repost of the cover. DynaPictures gives every registrant an I'm attending banner with their own name on it, made by a widget on your thank-you page and shared with a tracked link.
- An attendee widget on the thank-you page
- Name and photo filled in per person
- Shares, clicks and conversions by channel
How to resize a photo for a Facebook event cover
Upload the photo
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or HEIC up to 15 MB. The crop box opens at 1.91:1, the shape of the event header.
Keep faces and text away from the edges
Facebook shows the cover smaller on phones; the dashed line in the preview marks the area that survives everywhere.
Download and upload
Save the 1920x1005 PNG, open the event, choose Edit and replace the cover photo. The download stays available for 24 hours.
Why this Facebook event cover resizer
1920x1005 out of the box
The width and height the current size guides give for the event cover, so Facebook does not ask you to reposition after the upload.
No more cut-off heads
Face detection or your own box keeps people inside the frame instead of under the event title.
Preview before you upload
See the finished header at full size with the suggested safe area, the check Facebook's own uploader does not offer.

Facebook event cover photo size and safe area
The event cover photo is the header at the top of an event page. Current size guides agree on 1920x1005 pixels, a 1.91:1 ratio; Meta's help page explains how to add the photo but publishes no pixel figure, which is why the number comes from measuring what the page displays. Facebook accepts JPG and PNG and compresses what you upload, so start from a sharp source and keep text large. The header is shown narrower on phones and gets the event title laid over its lower part in some placements, so the preview's dashed line is the area to trust for text and logos.
