Best Images Size For Facebook 2022

This video explains and demonstrates what the best size is to upload your high quality photos to Facebook and why you shouldn’t resize your image lower or greater than this size for your image to be displayed on Facebook without Facebook using any compression on your image which will result in loss in quality of your image.

For this demonstration I am using Adobe Lightroom Classic to show how I save and export my images when uploading images to Facebook. I also show a quick way of adding a Watermark to your images if you want to.

I appreciate the help with this! I was getting tired of Facebook compressing the images. You were very straightforward and helpful.

just found the best tip that i could get from a more mature person compared to younger ones here in youtube.. also found some people from reddit arguing to what should you do to get a crisp image what megapixel does make better photos from 12mp 50mp or 200mp for facebook but still wasn't able solve the issue im having.

The answer I have been looking for. The first tutorial video I have gone back to the start and re-played, just to reinforce your advice. Thanks.

Straightforward, simple and intuitive. You're the veteran, sir.

[stanleynowak]

Thank you, great job explaining and straight to the point.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this. Used your suggestions and it made a world of difference on my Facebook photo upload quality. I have always hated how my photos looked on FB. Never looked as good as in the editor, till now.
Thanks again.

Thank you!!!! People think I'm crazy (or usually just old) when I tell them the beautiful picture I made needs to be formatted for their platform. The file they want to make a print from won't work. Thanks for explaining the specs. so clearly.

Question if you have an opinion: How durable do you think the standard of 2048 long-edge will be? Have they held this pretty steady or are there rumbles of change out there? Thanks again for posting so succinctly and on-target about formatting for digital media.

Thanks Charles. Exactly what I was looking for 👍. You’ve just got another subscriber.

[JanieP]

Thank you Charles! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge of the Internet and the D500!

What a beautiful channel! I am so glad I stumbled into your channel. No commercial angles, no fluff. Simple genuine photography. Keep it up and stay happy, stay healthy.
Edit: I was trying to assess if a D5600 will be good enough for occasional bird and 'rural wildlife' photography for a beginner. All photography experts on YouTube opine that a D7500 is the minimum body one needs for capturing moving subjects. I get it - AF is better, etc. But is D5600 completely unusable for this type of shots? D7500 is twice the cost. For a beginner that's a lot of money. And then I saw what you did with that D90! Now I'm reasonably confident the D5600 will not disappoint me. It may not be the best tool for the job but now I think it's AF may not be so bad either. I'm ready to give it a shot. Thank you for making such informative content! 👌🙂

Thanks for a great explanation and lots of detail

Kudos to you and your channel!
Unfortunately, this is not the case in less developed countries such as the Balkan countries. There is some factor of network specifications. Only exclusive contracts with Internet service providers ensure high-quality file transfers on Facebook.

[thomassorensen]

would you do the same if it was for a customer, would you change anything? Even for the Cover photo?

[JamalPhoenix]

Phenomenal picture and such a clear tutorial thank you. Can you do one for Instagram stories and posts?

[george_]
