Facebook post image size: 1200 × 630 px

The 1.91:1 feed image — the same shape as an Open Graph preview, which is not a coincidence.

Facebook post image size at a glance

Why 1200 × 630 turns up everywhere

1200 × 630 is Facebook's recommended size for a shared image and for the preview card generated from a link, and because Facebook's Open Graph tags became the de facto standard for link previews, the same dimensions now show up in LinkedIn, Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp and most chat apps. Export one image at this size and it serves the lot.

The ratio is roughly 1.91:1 — wider than 16:9. An image built at 16:9 and uploaded as a link preview gets its top and bottom shaved, which is the usual reason a carefully centred logo comes out clipped in a shared card.

Below 600 × 315, Facebook falls back to a small square thumbnail beside the text instead of the large card, which is a substantial difference in how much space the link occupies in a feed. That threshold, rather than the recommended size, is the one that changes the layout.

How to resize an image to 1200 × 630

  1. Drop your image on the panel above — or paste it, or drop several at once to do a batch.
  2. The width and height are already set to 1200 × 630, and the aspect lock is off so both numbers are honoured exactly.
  3. If your source is a different shape, crop it to 40:21 first — resizing a different ratio straight to these numbers stretches it.
  4. Pick an output format. JPEG for photographs, PNG for flat colour, text and anything needing transparency.
  5. Download. Nothing was uploaded at any point — the resize ran on your own machine, in this tab.

Questions

Is this the same as the Open Graph image size?

Yes — 1200 × 630 is the standard og:image size, which is why one export covers Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack and most messaging apps.

What happens if my image is too small?

Under 600 × 315 the link renders as a small square thumbnail with the text beside it rather than a full-width card.
