About this tool

What Facebook says about link images

Use at least 1200×630 pixels, keep close to 1.91:1, and stay under 8 MB. The absolute minimum is 200×200.

Facebook’s developer documentation on images in link shares gives these figures. A minimum allowed dimension of 200×200 pixels. At least 1200×630 for the best display on high-resolution devices. At the least 600×315 to show a link post with a larger image, because a smaller image still appears but much smaller. A file no larger than 8 MB, and a shape as close to 1.91:1 as possible so the full image shows in Feed without cropping. Source: Facebook for Developers, images in link shares. Checked against the platform’s own help page on 6 October 2026.

A link preview, not a photo post

This size is for the picture attached to a shared link, such as the image a web page offers when someone shares it.

If you run a website, this is the shape worth preparing for the page’s share image. It is not Facebook’s guidance for photos you upload straight into a post, and this page does not claim it is. Use it when you are making a picture that will travel with a link.

Choosing what the crop keeps

Most photos are taller than 1.91:1, so some height is lost. You choose which part.

A 4:3 photo keeps about 70% of its height in a 1200×630 frame, a 3:2 photo about 79%, and a 16:9 photo about 93%. Those are arithmetic from the shapes, and the page shows the exact figure for your picture. Slide the crop until faces and text are inside. Text near the edge of a link preview is easy to lose, so keep it away from the sides.

Format and file size

JPEG keeps photographs well under the 8 MB limit; PNG suits flat graphics with sharp text.

A WebP or HEIC source is written as JPEG unless you choose PNG. If the result is larger than you want, Image Compressor will reduce it.

FAQ

Is 1200×630 the size for a photo I post on Facebook?

No. It is the size Facebook gives for the image shown with a shared link. Its developer documentation says to use images at least 1200×630 pixels for the best display on high-resolution devices, and to stay close to a 1.91:1 shape so the whole image shows in Feed without cropping. It says nothing there about photos you upload directly.

What is the smallest image that still works?

Facebook says the minimum allowed dimension is 200×200 pixels, but to get a link post with a large image you should use at least 600×315. A smaller image still displays, much smaller.

What is the file-size limit?

Facebook says the image file must not exceed 8 MB.

Is 1200×630 exactly 1.91:1?

1200 divided by 630 is 1.905, so it is very close to 1.91:1.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The resize happens in your browser.
