Facebook Cover Image Guide
Not sure if your Facebook business page cover photo follows the new rules? As before, it must be at least 399px wide (851 x315 is ideal) and must not contain:
- - Price or purchase information, such as “40% off,” “Download it at our website,” or “Free Sunglasses All Summer Long.”
- - Contact information, such as web address, email, mailing address or other information intended for your Page’s About Section.
- - References to user interface elements, such as Like or Share, or other Facebook site features.
- - Images with more than 20% text, which includes text in logos.
This last rule is the most complicated to figure out. If you are not comfortable “eyeballing” your image, use our Cover Image Tool below to determine if your image contains more than 20% text*.

* This tool is intended as a guide to help determine if your Facebook business page cover photo meets the new 20% text rule.

We make no guarantee that OUR 20% will be the same as Facebook’s 20%, but we hope it’s helpful to you!
