How we calculate this

Methodology and source handling

We check official platform documentation first and label practical production targets when no exact public spec exists.

Quick answer

Use a 320 × 320 px square image for a Facebook Page profile picture. Facebook crops the profile image to a circle and displays it smaller on desktop and mobile.

Formula

How to calculate this size

Target canvas320 x 320 px

Export at the recommended pixel canvas before upload or handoff.

Aspect ratio1:1

Reduce width and height by their greatest common divisor.

Resize rulematch the target ratio before export

Use fit for no crop, fill or center crop for exact coverage, or pad when borders are acceptable.

Desktop and mobile

How this image displays

Use the upload size as the source canvas, then keep important content inside the safest visible area.

ItemDesktopMobileText/logo placement
Upload size Upload a 320 × 320 px square image for best quality. The same square upload appears as a smaller mobile avatar. Keep the logo or face centered inside the circular crop.
Display behavior Facebook lists Page profile pictures at 176 × 176 px on computers. Facebook lists 196 × 196 px on smartphones. Avoid placing important details in the corners.

Export checklist

Before you upload

320 × 320 px

Export the canvas at the target pixel dimensions before uploading.

Use sRGB color

sRGB is the safest color profile for Facebook and web display.

Use JPG for photos

Compress photographic images so Facebook has less work to do.

Use PNG for logo/text artwork

PNG keeps hard-edged graphics and type cleaner.

Check desktop and mobile

Preview after upload because Facebook can crop or resize by surface.

Common mistakes

Avoid these image problems

Logo touches the circle edge

Leave padding around marks so the circular crop does not trim them.

Important text too close to the edge

Responsive crops can trim outer edges, especially on mobile.

Low-resolution upload

Uploading below the target size can look soft after Facebook processing.

Wrong aspect ratio

A mismatched canvas forces unwanted cropping or empty space.

Too much small text

Dense text becomes hard to read in feeds and on mobile screens.

Platform notes

Requirements and crop behavior

Recommended320 x 320 px
Minimum320 x 320 px
FormatsJPG or PNG; PNG is useful for logos and text.
Max file sizeKeep compressed; Facebook general photo guidance recommends photos under 15 MB.

Center the subject or logo and keep corners nonessential because the avatar is circular.

Facebook displays the same upload at smaller sizes across desktop and mobile.

Resize with this preset
Design Facebook profile pictures as simple centered square artwork. Put the face, logo, or mark inside the center circle and leave the corners nonessential because the public avatar is circular. A PNG is usually best for logos and text; JPG is fine for portraits and photos.
