Here are all the details you need to size your images as well as graphics to look their ideal on your Facebook Fan Web Page. Includes Cover Photo, Account Pic, and Wall Photos.

Facebook Cover Image Capacities

Beginning at the top, your Cover Photo will be shown at 851 pixels (px) by 315px. You have the opportunity to adjust the chopping, but can not resize the image that you post or select from your Follower Web page albums.

To ensure you'll such as the results, dimension in an image editor prior to submitting. Start with a picture that's at least 851 pixels vast. Increasing the size of a lower resolution image can make it look fuzzy or pixelated.

Facebook Account Photo Size

The Facebook Profile Photo is displayed on your Follower Web page at 160px square, but must be published at least 180px square. You can also upload a larger photo, preferably in a several of 180, such as 360, 540, or 720, and also Facebook will certainly resize it for you. This might provide you much better quality, and will definitely provide you a larger picture in your Image Album!

Facebook Fan Web Page App Images/ Thumbnails

The Application Images, Tab Images, or Thumbnails that made use of to appear under your Cover Photo have actually relocated to the left column. Just 3 program on the web page, however when the arrowhead is clicked, every application thumbnail can be seen. It's an excellent concept to tailor them.

The Facebook app thumbnails are still 111px large by 74px high. Maintain them straightforward-- maybe just type that reveals a call-to-action.

Facebook Fan Web Page Application Favicons
The FB Fan Web page Application made use of to have small 16px favicons. These have actually been gotten rid of.

Facebook Follower Web Page Applications

Your Follower Page application can be a solitary image (example here). The width of the tab is 810px, as well as the maximum height for a full-tab picture is 1200px. This is the only Facebook picture that I have actually found to have a file size constraint, and also it's 400kb. Choose the suitable compression when saving your jpeg, It will not upload if larger than 400kb.

Facebook Wall Image Size

Pictures shared on your wall surface are shown at 504 pixels broad and approximately 504 pixels high. When sizing your graphics and also pictures, make them at the very least 504 pixels. Facebook is suggesting 1200 pixels.

Height can vary-- straight and also tall images will work. I utilized to recommend a high proportion of 4:5, today these will certainly be lowered to 504 pixels high with gray bars on the sides (see example).

Straight photos will fill up the 504 pixel size, but won't have the effect of square. Square looks ideal on the wall surface.

The maximum Facebook photo dimension for upload and download is 2048 px square. If you submit a bigger picture, Facebook will certainly minimize it so the lengthiest side is 2048 px.
