Important Notes
Facebook Event cover photos are the first visual element potential attendees see. The recommended size is now 1920×1005 pixels (changed from the previous 1920×1080px) to prevent cropping on mobile devices. If you upload an image smaller than 1920 pixels wide, Facebook will enlarge it, causing quality loss. Event covers display at full size on desktop and scale proportionally on mobile.

Facebook accepts images as small as 1200×628px, but will enlarge them to fit the event header, causing visible quality loss. Always upload at least 1920×1005px for optimal quality and sharpness.

Effective event covers include: event name/title, date and time, location (if relevant), key speakers or performers, brand logos, and compelling imagery that represents the event theme. Keep critical information centered to avoid mobile cropping.
Can I use video for Facebook Event covers?
No, Facebook Event covers only support static images (JPG, PNG, GIF). If you want to promote your event with video, post a video in the event discussion feed instead.
