Ever before question why some Facebook cover pictures look far better compared to others on mobile? The response is always a great developer (not that I'm prejudiced or anything), however I recently found a nifty trick to assist less of your hard work get cut off when checking out from a mobile phone-- and still look wonderful on desktop.
Awful as I go to keeping in mind numbers, I'm always googling "FB cover photo size" (or viewing our quick-reference infographic), as well as the initial response that constantly turns up is 851 × 315, which is just what the cover photo displays at on a desktop web browser. If your only concern is desktop, this is a fine dimension to upload your cover picture. Sadly, we can not disregard the 798 million customers that access Facebook daily through their cellphones.
Prior to I located this technique, alternatives for optimizing a cover photo for both desktop & mobile were extremely limited: either make the prime focus very little to display properly on mobile, or make it look excellent on desktop and compromise the mobile experience.
Ugh.
OK, I'll reduce to the chase. Post a photo that is 851 × 475. With cover photos taller compared to desktop shows, 2 things take place:.
Desktop computer cuts off the leading & base of the image (luckily, it cuts off an equal amount from both).
Mobile will certainly still remove several of the sides of the photo, but we have a significantly bigger readable location.
