Understanding Safe Zones
Facebook displays your cover photo differently on desktop vs mobile, which means parts of your image get cropped. The "Safe Zone" is the area that's visible on both devices.
🛡️ Safe Zone Area
Keep important content (text, logos, faces) within the center area to ensure visibility on all devices. Avoid placing critical elements near edges.
⚠️ Danger Zones
- Left 20%: Covered by profile picture on desktop
- Right 10%: May be cropped on some devices
- Top/Bottom: Cropped differently on mobile
Design Tips for Facebook Covers
| Tip | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Use high resolution | Upload at least 1200px wide to avoid pixelation |
| Center important content | Edges get cropped on mobile |
| Account for profile photo | Bottom-left 168px is covered on desktop |
| Keep text minimal | Covers with less than 20% text perform better |
| Use brand colors | Reinforce visual identity |
| Test on multiple devices | Preview on phone before publishing |
