Facebook Follower Web Page Apps

Your Fan Web page app can be a solitary photo (example here). The width of the tab is 810px, and also the optimum height for a full-tab picture is 1200px. This is the only Facebook photo that I've located to have a file size restriction, as well as it's 400kb. Choose the ideal compression when saving your jpeg, It won't submit if larger than 400kb.

Facebook Wall Surface Picture Dimension

Pictures shared on your wall surface are shown at 504 pixels broad as well as approximately 504 pixels high. When sizing your graphics and also images, make them at least 504 pixels. Facebook is advising 1200 pixels.

Elevation can vary-- straight and also tall photos will function. I utilized to recommend a high percentage of 4:5, and now these will certainly be minimized to 504 pixels tall with grey bars on the sides (see sample).

Straight images will load the 504 pixel width, however won't have the effect of square. Square looks ideal on the wall.

Facebook Picture Viewer Photo Size

Pictures you've submitted will appear in the Image Viewer, or lightbox, at the maximum resolution feasible, depending on the dimension you posted them as well as the audience's display screen tool. The optimum Facebook picture size for upload as well as download is 2048 px square. If you upload a larger image, Facebook will lower it so the lengthiest side is 2048 px. Keep in mind that photos can be downloaded at the full size you have actually uploaded, a minimum of as much as 2048 px.

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

  • 720 px

  • 960 px

  • 2048 px


If you submit 2048 px images, make certain to pick the Premium quality choice.
