If the picture or art work is to small facebook will stretch it to fit the space and if the picture is too big facebook will randomly crop your photo. In either case you may not like the end result.

After you made a beautiful art work and spend some time designing a cover photo you don’t want it be chopped in the wrong place or look so grainy and fuzzy when you upload it to your facebook.
Don't upload too small photo or art work for your face book cover. Face book will automatically stretch it and it will be blured.
Make sure your facebook page cover photo will look great from the start by making sure it's the right dimensions (which are 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall, in case you were wondering).
