Sometimes the way Facebook crops photos to fit into the Timeline collage is less than flattering…Hello giant photo of my nose, missing DIY project or (eek!) missing child.
Fortunately Facebook has implemented a super-easy way to fix this issue.
How to Reposition Photos on Facebook Timeline
Head over to the top right of the photo and click the edit icon (it’s shaped like a little pencil). A drop down box will appear. Select “reposition photo.”
Once selected, you will be able to move the photo around. Adjust the photo until it’s cropped the way you prefer and save.
Ahhh. Happy Facebook photos.
This will work for personal Facebook accounts or for Facebook Pages.

OMG thank you so much for this little tip! I HATE when Facebook oddly crops my photos, like I put up a great picture of a project that is perfectly framed, and Facebook cuts the entire bottom off of it! Glad it’s so easy to fix

Shannah, I know right? I went for months before I figured out this little trick on Facebook and it’s soooo easy!

The problem I’m having is that once I leave my Timeline and later revisit it, the photos are no longer in the new position I saved. They’re back to the default position.
Nancy, This has happened to me sometimes too. I think it’s just a bug in the FB system or something…It generally works though! xoxo, T.
Thanks, Tauni! =)
