Facebook cover photo size that works on desktop and mobile
Facebook shows your cover at 820 × 312 on computers but 640 × 360 on phones: two different shapes from one upload. Crop a 16:9 image at 1640 × 924 and keep the important part inside the desktop strip, and both views look right.

Questions
What is the right Facebook cover photo size?
Facebook displays covers at 820 × 312 on computers and 640 × 360 on phones. A 1640 × 924 image with content in the middle strip works on both. Meta notes that an sRGB JPG of 851 × 315 under 100 KB loads fastest.
Why is my Facebook cover blurry?
Facebook recompresses covers. Upload at least 1640 px wide (twice the display size) and avoid fine text.
