Facebook crops cover photos differently on desktop vs mobile. Keep important content in the centre of the image to ensure it's visible on both. Resize with PhotoResizer.us and test on both devices after uploading.
820×312 px for desktop display. However, design at 820×462 px to account for mobile cropping, keeping critical content centered.
