SVG vs PNG for Facebook Covers
Why Facebook covers need raster uploads and how SVG helps you design them sharp.
Facebook Cover Requirements
Facebook cover photos require PNG or JPG uploads, displayed differently on desktop and mobile. Design logos and text in SVG for crisp results, keeping key content centered to avoid mobile cropping.
- Facebook covers need PNG/JPG, not SVG
- Keep key elements centered for mobile cropping
- Design crisp logos and text in SVG first
Recommended Dimensions
Facebook recommends roughly 820x312 for page covers; export your SVG-designed layout at this size or larger for a crisp final upload.
- Page cover: approximately 820x312 recommended
- Export at or above the recommended size
- Test how the cover crops on mobile before publishing
