Facebook Cover
Photo Size
The Facebook Cover Photo is the large
panoramic image space at the top of the
timeline.
Prole Picture on
the Timeline
The prole image that appears next to
your name on comments and posts is
the same image but is automatically
scaled down to 40px by 40px.
Shared Link
Thumbnails
Some things got simplied in the new
layout. Shared link thumbnail images
didnt. But theyve been improved on the
previous version, and we also get some
nifty new features like being able to
upload a dierent thumbnail image and
use multiple thumbnails that all link back
to the shared URL. (I have a separate
post on how to use them.)
Metadata
While not specically related to image
sizes, it is worth knowing that Facebook
strips out all metadata from your images.
That includes all GPS, camera type, and
other data that your camera might
embed, as well as anything like
keywords or copyright information you
might have added. (An exception is if
youre in Germany).
