This is the only Facebook image that I have actually found to have a documents dimension restriction, and also it's 400kb.

Photos shared on your wall are presented at 504 pixels vast and also approximately 504 pixels high. When sizing your graphics as well as images, make them at least 504 pixels. Facebook is recommending 1200 pixels.

Height can differ-- horizontal as well as tall pictures will work. I used to advise a high proportion of 4:5, and now these will be lowered to 504 pixels high with gray bars on the sides (see example).

Horizontal images will fill the 504 pixel width, but will not have the impact of square. Square looks ideal on the wall.

The maximum Facebook image dimension for upload as well as download is 2048 px square. If you post a larger photo, Facebook will certainly reduce it so the longest side is 2048 px.
