Facebook event cover size
1920 × 1005px
Aspect ratio
1.91:1
Facebook event covers are 1920 × 1005 px (1.91:1) — one wide banner that must also read as a small card in the feed.

Event covers use their own format, wider than a feed post and larger than a Page cover: 1920 × 1005 px at roughly 1.91:1. The same image does double duty — full-width banner at the top of the event page, and a small thumbnail card everywhere the event circulates: feed shares, invitations, search results, and the Events tab. Designing for the banner alone is the standard mistake; the card rendering is where most people decide whether to tap.
| Variant | Dimensions | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Event cover (recommended) | 1920 × 1005 px | 1.91:1 |
| Acceptable smaller export | 1200 × 628 pxSame ratio; fine for simple covers, softer on large screens. | 1.91:1 |
| Feed-share card | small thumbnailThe cover scaled down — fine detail disappears. | ~1.91:1 |
The event page can trim the cover’s extreme edges depending on screen width, and the small feed card destroys fine detail entirely. Keep the event’s one essential visual — artist photo, product, venue — centered, and any in-image text inside the middle 80% of the canvas at poster-headline scale. Remember that Facebook renders the event title, date, and location as text below the image everywhere it appears, so the cover does not need to carry that information to be functional.
Title, date, time, and venue all display as crisp system text beside the cover in every context. Duplicating them in the image at banner scale means they turn illegible at card scale and become wrong if the date shifts. Use the image for atmosphere and identity — the headliner, the room, the product — and reserve in-image text for at most a short event brand or edition mark.
Zoom your draft out until it is about 100 px wide — that is roughly how it appears as an invitation card. If you cannot tell what kind of event it is at that size, simplify: one subject, strong color, high contrast. Busy collages and full lineup posters belong in the event’s photo album or discussion posts, not the cover.
The cover is the event’s only mutable broadcast surface: “early bird ends Friday”, “sold out”, “new date”. Swapping it mid-campaign re-energizes shares since the card updates everywhere. Schedule those refreshes alongside your posts so the event page and your feed promotion stay in sync.
1920 × 1005 px at roughly 1.91:1 is the recommended size. A 1200 × 628 px export at the same ratio also works for simple designs, though it renders softer on large screens.
Generally no — Facebook displays the title, date, time, and location as text next to the image in every context, and in-image dates become wrong if the event shifts. Use the image for visual identity instead.
Feed shares render the cover as a small card and may trim the extreme edges. Keep the subject centered and any text inside the middle 80% of the canvas so the crop stays harmless.
