Posts look best at 1080 × 1350 (4:5). A Page cover loads fastest at 851 × 315, a profile picture should be 320 × 320, and Stories and Reels are 1080 × 1920.

## The short answer: Posts at 1080 × 1350, covers at 851 × 315, profile pictures at 320 × 320.

Facebook publishes no feed photo size, but Meta's own feed ads use 4:5 at 1440 × 1800, and 1080 × 1350 is the common upload size for that shape. Facebook recommends photos under 15 MB and resizes every upload to several sizes. Square 1080 × 1080 posts work too.

For your Page, Facebook's Help Center gives exact numbers: the profile picture should be 320 × 320 and is cropped to a circle, and the cover must be at least 400 × 150 and loads fastest as an 851 × 315 JPG under 100 KB. Stories and Reels are vertical 1080 × 1920.

- **Post**: 1080 × 1350 (4:5; square 1080 × 1080 works too)
- **Page cover**: 851 × 315 (At least 400 × 150)
- **Profile picture**: 320 × 320 (Shown as a circle)

From Facebook's Help Center, Meta's Reels API and the Meta Ads Guide, read on October 17, 2026. Facebook publishes no organic feed photo size.

## What a scheduled Facebook post must fit. Schedulers publish through Meta's Graph API.

| Limit | Facebook app | Schedulers (the API) |
|---|---|---|
| Photo file | Under 15 MB recommended | Up to 10 MB; PNG best under 1 MB |
| Photo formats | Not published | JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF or TIFF |
| Reel length | Any length | 3 to 90 seconds through the Reels API |
| Reel size | Any orientation | 9:16, 1080 × 1920; at least 540 × 960 |
| Story video | Not published | Up to 60 seconds through the Page Stories API |

Facebook resizes every uploaded photo to several sizes and strips location data before it publishes.

## What changed for Facebook visuals. Video went vertical-first.

- **Jun 2025: Every video is a reel** The Videos tab became the Reels tab, and every new video is shared as a reel, of any length or orientation. Vertical 1080 × 1920 fits Reels best. (https://www.facebook.com/business/help/581040529926114)

## Size it once, post it everywhere. Six rules for Facebook.

1. **Default to 4:5 for photos** 1080 × 1350 takes more of the feed than a square, and it is the shape Meta's own feed ads use.
2. **Keep files small** Facebook recommends photos under 15 MB, and through the API a photo can be up to 10 MB. Keep PNGs under 1 MB.
3. **Upload the cover at 851 × 315** Facebook says an sRGB JPG of that size under 100 KB loads fastest. Keep text away from the edges.
4. **Center the profile picture** It is cropped to a circle and overlaps the cover by about 40 px on phones.
5. **Shoot video vertical** Every video is a reel now. 1080 × 1920 fills the screen, and the API needs at least 540 × 960.
6. **Choose your own link image** Facebook lets a Page pick its own link preview image. Use 1200 × 630 so it is not cropped.
