Ever wonder why some Facebook cover images look much better compared to others on mobile? The response is always a wonderful developer (not that I'm biased or anything), but I just recently uncovered a nifty technique to assist much less of your effort get cut off when watching from a mobile phone-- and also still look wonderful on desktop.
Awful as I go to keeping in mind numbers, I'm constantly googling "FB cover picture size" (or viewing our quick-reference infographic), and also the initial answer that constantly pops up is 851 × 315, which is just what the cover photo displays at on a desktop computer browser. If your only worry is desktop computer, this is a great size to upload your cover picture. Regrettably, we can not overlook the 798 million individuals who access Facebook daily with their mobile phones.
Before I located this method, alternatives for optimizing a cover image for both desktop computer & mobile were extremely restricted: either make the focal point very tiny to display correctly on mobile, or make it look good on desktop computer and also compromise the mobile experience.
Ugh.
OK, I'll cut to the chase. Upload an image that is 851 × 475. With cover photos taller than desktop computer programs, two things occur:.
Desktop computer cuts off the leading & bottom of the photo (fortunately, it cuts off an equal quantity from both).
Mobile will certainly still remove several of the sides of the picture, however we have a considerably larger viewable area.
