Facebook Event Cover Photo Size
A Facebook event cover photo is 1920 × 1005 px at a 1.91:1 aspect ratio. It is the widest of Facebook's cover formats and the first thing an invitee sees. On mobile, Facebook overlays the event name, date, and going/interested buttons across the lower portion of the image, so the bottom quarter of the design is effectively unusable for text.

Design Tips
- →Keep the date, venue, and headline out of the bottom 25% of the frame. Facebook prints the event title and date over that band on mobile, and your text ends up double-printed underneath it.
- →Do not rely on the cover to carry the event details — Facebook already displays date, time, and location as structured fields. Use the cover for atmosphere and brand recognition instead.
- →At 1.91:1 the frame is very wide and short. Horizontal compositions and wide establishing shots work; portrait photography and tall typographic lockups get cropped badly.
- →Export at 1920 × 1005 px rather than the older 1200 × 628 px event size. The larger canvas stays sharp when Facebook renders the cover full-width on tablets and desktop.

What size is a Facebook event cover photo?+
1920 × 1005 pixels at a 1.91:1 aspect ratio, under 8 MB. Facebook accepts smaller uploads but upscales them, which shows on wide displays. Keep text clear of the bottom quarter where the event title overlay sits.
What size of Facebook event cover photo works on mobile?+
The same 1920 × 1005 px upload. Facebook crops it slightly tighter on mobile and overlays the event name, date, and RSVP buttons across the lower area. Design the focal point in the upper two thirds so the overlay does not obscure it.
How is an event cover different from a page cover photo?+
An event cover is 1920 × 1005 px (1.91:1); a page or profile cover is 851 × 315 px (2.7:1). The event cover is proportionally much taller, so a page cover reused as an event cover will be heavily cropped top and bottom.
Can I use a video as a Facebook event cover?+
No. Facebook events support a static cover image only, at 1920 × 1005 px. Video covers are available for Pages, not events — so an event promoted with motion needs that content in the feed posts rather than on the event page itself.
What happens if my event cover is the wrong size?+
Facebook scales it to fit 1.91:1 and crops the overflow from the centre outward. A square or portrait image loses most of its left and right edges, and a smaller image is upscaled and looks soft on desktop. Export at 1920 × 1005 px rather than letting Facebook decide.
