The Ultimate Cheat Sheet for Facebook Image Sizes [Infographic]

Posted by Rebecca Hill

Designing a winning Facebook campaign that generates page views, event responses, positive comments, likes and even revenue needs more than just a killer idea. To create engagement on Facebook and reach your target audience, captivating visual assets are required.

In fact, without the right visual assets your posts will be largely ignored. On a platform that is so heavily populated by images, it’s important that your visual assets stand out.

However, if you don’t follow Facebook’s image sizing and dimensions protocol, you’ll have a hard time creating eye-catching posts that attract current and future clientele.

At TechWyse we created the below infographic on Facebook image sizes to help marketers, social media experts, graphic designers and other professionals meet the image sizes and dimensions protocol.

Facebook is constantly making updates to its platform to ensure that users are able to get the most out of its social media service. The latest updates are highlighted in the infographic. For example, any image that is smaller than 470×246 will be rendered a thumbnail by Facebook.

Plus, if you do not adhere to the recommended image dimensions, Facebook will choose the center of your image, essentially cutting it off.

The infographic also has information regarding text ratios. Any posts you make that contain more than 20% text might receive a smaller reach than those with optimal text ratios. Many people neglect to follow the guidelines for the text that accompanies their Facebook images and wonder why it has been disapproved.

Luckily, you can bookmark the below infographic so that you can consult it when setting up your next Facebook campaign.
