Facebook Cover Photo

851×315 px

Each social platform crops uploaded media to its own aspect ratio before showing it in feeds. Uploading at the platform's native size — here, Facebook feed posts — preserves the framing you intended and avoids the soft-focus that comes from the platform's own resampler. This preset outputs 851×315 JPEG at the 851:315 ratio that Facebook expects.

When you'd run Facebook Cover Photo

About Facebook and this preset

Audience: 3+ billion accounts, the most demographically broad platform.

How Facebook ranks images: feed ranking heavy on Meaningful Social Interaction signals — comments, replies, family connections. Posting at the platform's exact native dimensions (851×315 px) preserves your original framing and avoids the softening that happens when the platform's own resampler runs to fit its expected size.

Platform-specific note: Facebook compresses images server-side when uploaded over mobile data; uploading at native size from desktop avoids the worst of this.

How Facebook Cover Photo runs

This preset is a deterministic recipe — every step has fixed parameters so the result is byte-identical across runs of the same input.

  1. Crop the image to a 851:315 aspect ratio. Mochi keeps the centre of the frame in the middle of the crop by default — drag the crop box if you want to recompose.
  2. Resize to 851×315 px as JPEG at quality 90%.

Where the work happens

Facebook Cover Photo crops your input to 851:315 and resizes it to 851×315 px as JPEG — a 268-kilopixel output. The work runs through canvas APIs and a WebAssembly image-encoder; the source image is decoded into an off-screen canvas, transformed in place, and re-encoded without any network upload.

Social-platform uploads frequently re-encode the file at the platform's CDN; running this preset locally before upload lets you see the exact pre-upload state. The browser-side path also means the file never leaves your device — relevant when the input contains personally identifiable information, screenshots of private documents, ID scans, or proprietary product photography.

Common mistakes

FAQ

What does Facebook Cover Photo output?

851×315 px, saved as JPEG at quality 90%.

Why crop to 851:315?

The target platform — see the cited spec — uses 851:315 as its native frame. Submitting any other ratio means the platform's own crop runs, which often clips faces or text near the edge.

Why JPEG and not PNG?

The target accepts JPEG, and JPEG compresses photographic content 5-10× smaller than PNG with no visible difference at quality 90%. PNG is the right choice only when the image has hard edges or transparency — which photo-ID, social posts, and product photos don't.

Does my image get uploaded?

No. This preset runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly + canvas APIs — no server round-trip. You can verify this in your browser's network panel: only static asset requests, no image upload. The file never leaves your device.
