Ever ask yourself why some Facebook cover photos look much better compared to others on mobile? The response is always a wonderful developer (not that I'm biased or anything), but I lately found a clever technique to help much less of your hard work get removed when seeing from a mobile phone-- as well as still look excellent on desktop.
Terrible as I go to keeping in mind numbers, I'm constantly googling "FB cover picture dimension" (or seeing our quick-reference infographic), and also the initial answer that constantly turns up is 851 × 315, which is exactly what the cover image presents at on a desktop web browser. If your only worry is desktop computer, this is a great dimension to publish your cover photo. Sadly, we could not ignore the 798 million customers that access Facebook daily via their cellphones.
Before I found this technique, choices for enhancing a cover photo for both desktop computer & mobile were extremely limited: either make the prime focus extremely little to present properly on mobile, or make it look excellent on desktop and also compromise the mobile experience.
Ugh.
OK, I'll reduce to the chase. Publish a picture that is 851 × 475. With cover pictures taller than desktop computer shows, 2 things happen:.
Desktop computer removes the top & bottom of the photo (luckily, it cuts off an equal quantity from both).
Mobile will certainly still cut off some of the sides of the image, yet we have a dramatically bigger viewable area.
