Facebook Follower Web Page Apps

Your Fan Web page app can be a solitary photo (sample here). The size of the tab is 810px, as well as the maximum height for a full-tab picture is 1200px. This is the only Facebook image that I've located to have a file size restriction, as well as it's 400kb. Pick the appropriate compression when saving your jpeg, It will not submit if larger than 400kb.

Facebook Wall Surface Image Dimension

Pictures shared on your wall surface are presented at 504 pixels wide and up to 504 pixels high. When sizing your graphics as well as pictures, make them a minimum of 504 pixels. Facebook is advising 1200 pixels.

Elevation can vary-- straight as well as high pictures will work. I used to suggest a high percentage of 4:5, and now these will be minimized to 504 pixels tall with grey bars on the sides (see sample).

Horizontal photos will certainly fill the 504 pixel width, however won't have the effect of square. Square looks best on the wall surface.

Images you've posted will certainly appear in the Image Audience, or lightbox, at the optimum resolution feasible, depending upon the dimension you published them and the viewer's display screen gadget. The optimum Facebook image size for upload and also download is 2048 px square. If you post a larger image, Facebook will reduce it so the lengthiest side is 2048 px.
