This section will go into detail on the Facebook post size. More photo types and sizes farther down in the article. For optimal display, Facebook recommends that you resize your images before uploading to one of these widths they support:.
For best quality, I recommend uploading from a computer. We automatically resize and format your photos when you upload them to Facebook. To help make sure your photos appear in the highest possible quality, try these tips:. Resize your photo to one of the following supported sizes: px, px or px wide source. The maximum Facebook photo size for upload and download is px square.
If you upload a larger image, Facebook will reduce it so the longest side is px. According to Facebook, they will resize your image from pixels down to to fit their standard settings, adding to your compression woes. Any images might be downloaded and reused, even though that would be copyright infringement unless you give permission.
For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos IP content , you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook IP License.
This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it. I recommend you NOT upload your professional images at high resolution unless you have a specific reason to do so for example, you want fans to download printable images of an event. Very few people have a monitor or device that can display an image that large. I also suggest you watermark your images. Facebook will apply another round of compression to your photos, so saving them as large files assures best results.
I uploaded a profile picture as a px square, 3. It appears that Facebook maintains the PNG format when you upload one. If you use advanced photo editing software like Photoshop, you know there are different kinds of PNG files.
PNG8 is perfect for flat expanses of color with text, like the image shown below. This format can have up to 16 million colors. Use PNG24 only as needed, as the file sizes can be large, causing slower load times on slow internet connections. Color note: Red tones are notorious for looking horrible on Facebook. Bright red, magenta, or red-purple are not good choices for Facebook images.
If you want to put Facebook to the test on that, use the minimum required pixel size and compress it yourself to kb or less. We've all been there, we work so hard preparing, shooting, editing or whatever it may be when we're involved in taking photos.
After everything is finished and the photos look amazing, we cannot wait to share our photos to the world. But are they the highest quality possible? It is well documented that Facebook "destroys" or compresses image quality when uploaded to the platform.
So what is the root to this problem? The root of this problem is better known as "compression artifacts. Since you're probably already aware of this issue, how do we overcome this? After experimenting with different uploading methods to the platform, I've found a solid export preset on Lightroom that I use on a daily basis. The key here is set the pixels to the longest side at px. This is what Facebook considers the "high quality" dimensions when uploaded to their platform.
I have read in other places that setting your "Quality" option at 60 renders good results, but from what I have found, setting at works fine. The final crucial setting is the "Color Space," setting at sRGB is important because if the Color Space option is set to a different color profile, you may see color shifts when exported.
An additional method I found useful was from photographer, Erich Caparas , and how he exports his photo from Photoshop. Another GREAT resource from here at Fstoppers is Nino Batista 's in-depth article from last year about how he experimented uploading his photos to Facebook and how to render great results! Now that we've exported our photos via Lightroom, what is a common mistake to avoid when uploading to Facebook? Post your images from your desktop or laptop opposed to your mobile device.
Below is a comparison of the same image file, one uploaded from my desktop and the other uploaded from my iPhone onto Facebook. Look closely, can you see the difference? The difference between sharpness quality is night and day.
Even though most photographers upload from their desktops, I see this all too common from other team members involved in the creative process. Just make sure to make a friendly reminder on why this is important.
We all work very hard on creating the best imagery as possible; we shouldn't leave out the presentation of our work as part of that process. Check out the Fstoppers Store for in-depth tutorials from some of the best instructors in the business. I got sick of Instagram doing something similar to my photos so I eventually tinkered around and came up with pixels on the long edge, good to see I got pretty close to this on my own!
Although: "Even though most photographers upload from their desktops I've seen articles about this but they always seem to center around the same workflow in the end anyway, getting images to your phone. The quote that you referred to from the article was regarding uploading to Facebook, not Instagram.
Thanks for reading! Good to know, I was just eyeballing things and got close enough with the 2k I'd say :. But I'll try and see what that looks like now. That video of Erich Caparas: he suggests using "assign profile" when mentioning srgb. That's just plain wrong, when assigning srgb to an argb file you just get the same color shift which you would get from posting argb files on the web.
I now prefer not to have images uploaded to Facebook Let's face it I prefer having tragic on my site instead of having tragic on Facebook, so I upload the images to my site, on the blog page and I share the link to it on Facebook, users will see one image on the post and they will be redirected to my site. Agreed, but that just opens an almost just as nasty can of worms: How to crop an image on your website so Facebook doesn't perform additional cropping and presents a thumbnail with parts of your original image missing.
Considering that the crop may be different on mobile and desktop devices, that quickly turns just as ugly as resizing and compressing an image for posting directly on Facebook I crop the images with px on the larger side and it works fine for me. If I font like how Facebook presents the thumbnail I will make one image just for the Facebook sharing. If you click it, you'll go home. Sign Up Explore. Upload Sign In. Share it here.
