You can likewise post a bigger photo, preferably in a numerous of 180, such as 360, 540, or 720, as well as Facebook will resize it for you. This might provide you far better clarity, and will definitely provide you a larger picture in your Photo Cd!

Facebook Follower Page App Images/ Thumbnails

The App Images, Tab Images, or Thumbnails that made use of to appear under your Cover Photo have moved to the left column. Just 3 show on the web page, but when the arrowhead is clicked, every application thumbnail can be seen. It's a good concept to customize them.

The Facebook application thumbnails are still 111px large by 74px high. Keep them straightforward-- possibly simply type that expresses a call-to-action.

Facebook Fan Page Application Favicons
The FB Follower Web page Apps used to have tiny 16px favicons. These have actually been removed.

Facebook Fan Page Apps

Your Fan Page application can be a solitary picture (example below). The size of the tab is 810px, as well as the maximum height for a full-tab photo is 1200px. This is the only Facebook photo that I have actually found to have a file size restriction, as well as it's 400kb. Choose the ideal compression when conserving your jpeg, It won't upload if larger than 400kb.

Facebook Wall Surface Image Dimension

Images shared on your wall are displayed at 504 pixels vast as well as approximately 504 pixels high. When sizing your graphics as well as photos, make them at least 504 pixels. Facebook is recommending 1200 pixels.

Height can differ-- straight and high pictures will work. I made use of to recommend a tall percentage of 4:5, now these will certainly be reduced to 504 pixels tall with gray bars on the sides (see example).

Straight photos will certainly fill the 504 pixel size, but will not have the effect of square. Square looks finest on the wall surface.

Facebook Photo Customer Photo Size

Images you have actually uploaded will certainly show up in the Picture Customer, or lightbox, at the maximum resolution feasible, relying on the size you submitted them as well as the viewer's screen tool. The maximum Facebook picture dimension for upload and download is 2048 px square. If you submit a larger photo, Facebook will lower it so the lengthiest side is 2048 px. Bear in mind that pictures can be downloaded at the full dimension you've published, at least up to 2048 px.

For optimum screen, Facebook advises that you resize your images before publishing to one of these sizes they support:

• 720 px


• 960 px


• 2048 px

If you publish 2048 px photos, make certain to select the Premium quality option.
