How Facebook (Personal) crops your header
Facebook (Personal) renders the same image differently across devices. We test 2 unique device profiles (1 phone) (1 desktop).
| Device | Type | Display size | Safe areas |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 16 Pro | phone | 402×149 | Status Bar, Profile Picture |
| Desktop (1440p) | desktop | 851×315 | Profile Picture |
Design tips for Facebook (Personal)
- •Keep critical content centered. Mobile and desktop crop different portions of your image. Putting your key visual or text in the center buys you the most safety.
- •Mind the profile picture overlay. Most platforms place a profile photo on top of the lower-left of your banner. Don't put logos or text there.
- •Watch the Dynamic Island & status bar. On iPhones the top of your banner sits behind the status bar and (on Pro models) the Dynamic Island.
- •Export at 2× or 3×. Save at twice the recommended size and let the platform downscale, so the image stays crisp on retina displays.
