Choose an Image
Select one JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, or BMP image from your device, or drag and drop it into the browser.
Choose a Facebook Preset
Select a feed, Story, profile, or cover size, then crop to fill or fit the complete image and adjust its framing.
Preview and Download
Check the exact output dimensions and composition, choose JPG or PNG, and download the resized Facebook image.
How Does the Facebook Image Resizer Work?
The CompressFly Facebook image resizer creates an image at the exact dimensions of the selected feed portrait, square post, landscape post, Story, profile photo, or cover photo preset. Crop to Fill covers the target canvas and lets you move or zoom the source. Fit Entire Image retains the complete source and fills unused space with the selected background color.
The Story and cover presets include suggested safe-area guides, and the profile preset includes a circular display guide. These guides are visible only while editing and are not included in the downloaded JPG or PNG. The complete process runs directly in your browser.
What "in your browser" means
- No Facebook image is uploaded to a server
- Resizing, cropping, and export are processed locally on your device
- The finished JPG or PNG is downloaded directly from your browser

The Facebook-only selector includes six presets for common feed, full-screen, profile, and cover uses.

Select the preset that matches the placement where the image will be published.
| Facebook Preset | Output Size | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
