Facebook Image Size Guide

Facebook compresses all uploaded images, so using the right dimensions and format matters more than maximum quality. This guide ensures your images look sharp without unnecessary file sizes.

Compression Tip

Facebook re-encodes all images anyway. Compress to 80% quality JPEG before uploading - Facebook will further compress it.
