Facebook Timeline Banner Dimensions

31 Comments

I tried to quickly search and reference the Facebook Timeline banner size but nothing came up. Also if you want to save a little bit of time, we have created a quick template for you to use. It includes guidelines and a mockup of where your avatar would exist (this will help accommodate for the design).

The size for the Facebook Timeline banner (or cover as they call it) is 851 x 314 pixels.

Note: We’ve updated the PSD to accomodate the larger profile photo, click below to go to the post.

    Love resources like these. Mostly because NO ONE ever divulges this stuff and although I suppose figuring it out on your own can be rewarding…streamlining the process is a whole lot more efficient.

    Will share this with some people I know are going to butcher the Timeline due to lack of help.

    THANK YOU- THANK YOU after several failed attempts on my own =)

    Thanks for the PSD, but I think perhaps it should be 315px tall? Even if the extra 1px is not visible, at 314px the image looks to get slightly distorted and compressed server-side.

    Hey Cody, please see our updated cover banner PSD for the new size since we have updated the file: http://mrare.ca/blog/facebook-timeline-banner-size

    Thanks for this. Stupid that Facebook doesn’t just list this info on their own.

  27. Matt    March 27th, 2013 at 12:29pm

    Looks Like they have changed the dimensions for the profile pic since this post. It is somewhat larger now.

      I posted a version two in this article (see the red button link).

  28. Josh    April 10th, 2013 at 10:17am

    Dude! I actually googled this and you came up first!

  29. Andy Cheong    May 9th, 2013 at 05:39pm

    Thanks Dude.

    Many thanks, most handy. I have a PS action script that produces all iOs and Android sizes for apps. I wish I had the skills to produce one for all the Facebook app sizes.
    I do have a cool cheat sheet tho’
