Facebook Event Templates
The two images one event needs, built to match: the 1920 × 1005 event banner that sits at the top of the event page, and the 1200 × 630 post that carries it into the feed and into shares.
No templates match that.
Why two sizes and not one
An event lives in two places with different shapes, and one image cannot serve both without being cropped badly in one of them.
The banner is wide and shallow — it is a header, seen once by somebody who has already arrived. It can carry the atmosphere and let the page beneath it carry the detail.
The post is the one doing the work. It appears in feeds, in shares and in link previews, usually at a fraction of full size, next to text. It has to answer what, when, where on its own, because plenty of people will never open the event page.
Building them as a pair from the same elements takes a few minutes and stops the second one being an afterthought made in a hurry the night before.
Put the date on the image
This is the one place the usual advice inverts. Most social images should avoid dates because they go stale — but an event image is the date. It is the first thing anybody looks for and the commonest thing left off.
Day, time and place, large enough to read in a feed at half size. Everything else is optional.
1200 × 630 is the universal share size
Worth knowing beyond Facebook: 1200 × 630 is also the size link previews use across most platforms and messaging apps. A post built at that size is what appears when somebody pastes your link anywhere, so it is the most reused image you will make for an event.
Questions
What size is a Facebook event banner?
1920 × 1005 pixels, roughly 16:8.4. The matching shareable post is 1200 × 630.
Why is there a separate post size?
Because the banner is only seen on the event page. The 1200 × 630 post is what appears in feeds, shares and link previews, and it needs to answer what, when and where by itself.
Should the date be on the image?
Yes. An event image is the one case where putting a date on a graphic is right — it is the first thing people look for and the most commonly omitted.
Will the banner be cropped on mobile?
Yes, at the ends. Keep the essential information toward the middle.
Can I use 1200 × 630 elsewhere?
Yes — it is the standard link-preview size across most platforms and messaging apps, so it is the most reusable image in this set.
Can I use these commercially?
Yes, including for ticketed events and client work. No royalty, no credit, and the permission does not expire. That is true on the free plan as well as the paid one.
