Crop Google Business for square photos or the wide cover
Posts and many gallery uploads work as squares. The profile cover is a landscape frame. Open the guide that matches the slot, keep the storefront clear, then download a sharp crop.
Sizes on Google Business
Open a guide for exact pixels, safe zones, and an in-browser crop for that surface.
Local discovery needs the right artboard
Customers judge your business from small cards in Search and Maps before they ever open the full profile. Soft upscales, tilted interiors, and Facebook banners stretched into the wrong slot look unfinished next to clean competitor photos.
Square photos (try 720×720) suit posts and many gallery uploads. Covers commonly target 1024×576 (16:9) so the entrance and signage stay readable. Reuse the photography if you want—export each ratio separately.
Each guide includes practical pixels, a checklist, and an in-browser crop. Nothing is uploaded to a server—you download the JPG and publish in Google Business Profile yourself.
Quick picks
Match the task to the guide so you do not export the wrong ratio.
- Publishing a Google post or gallery photo → Square photo at 720×720.
- Updating the wide profile header → Cover at 1024×576; do not stretch a square.
- Coming from Facebook or Instagram → Re-crop; social banners and 4:5 posts are different jobs.
- Showing a logo → Keep it centered in a square; wide wordmarks get clipped when shown small.
Frequently asked questions
What size should Google Business photos be?
A sharp square is a practical default—720×720 works well for many posts and photo uploads. Keep the subject centered for small Search and Maps cards.
What is the Google Business cover size?
1024×576 (16:9) is a common cover target. Keep the entrance and signage in the center band.
Can I reuse Facebook covers on Google?
Reuse the photo, not the Facebook export. Re-crop to 16:9 so the storefront stays intentional.
Can I crop Google Business sizes in the browser?
Yes. Both guides on this hub include an in-browser crop—files stay on your device until you download and upload in Google yourself.
