The Application Photos, Tab Images, or Thumbnails that utilized to show up under your Cover Photo have actually moved to the left column. Only 3 program on the page, however when the arrowhead is clicked, every application thumbnail can be seen. It's a good suggestion to customize them.

Your Follower Page app can be a solitary photo (sample here). The width of the tab is 810px, and the maximum elevation for a full-tab image is 1200px. This is the only Facebook image that I have actually located to have a file size constraint, and also it's 400kb. Choose the appropriate compression when conserving your jpeg, It won't submit if larger than 400kb.

Facebook Wall Surface Picture Dimension

Images shared on your wall surface are presented at 504 pixels wide and as much as 504 pixels high. When sizing your graphics as well as images, make them at least 504 pixels. Facebook is suggesting 1200 pixels.

Height can differ-- straight and also high images will certainly work. I used to suggest a high proportion of 4:5, now these will be minimized to 504 pixels high with gray bars on the sides (see example).

Straight pictures will fill up the 504 pixel size, yet won't have the effect of square. Square looks best on the wall surface.

Images you've uploaded will show up in the Picture Visitor, or lightbox, at the maximum resolution feasible, depending upon the size you uploaded them as well as the visitor's display gadget. The optimum Facebook picture dimension for upload and download is 2048 px square. If you publish a bigger picture, Facebook will reduce it so the lengthiest side is 2048 px.
