Cover Photo Facebook Dimensions

Cover Photo Facebook Dimensions: So, I know a lot of you create your personal Facebook timeline cover photos for your team or for your company page and I also understand a great deal of you get annoyed since it gets pixelated or loses quality, right? Guess just what, also as a web designer, this was occurring to me! [the horror!!!]

Cover Photo Facebook Dimensions

When I was developing our graphics for the All Up in Your Girl Service podcast, I made a team cover photo for our Facebook group with all the "typical" specs I made use of-- the best dimension, the best format, etc and also it was STILL looking like a warm mess. There were pieces of the strong shade blocks that were pixelating and also "feathering" around contrasting letters and it was driving me BATTY. However, guess just what? I learned the best ways to fix it and I intended to share it with you!

Alright, so, you HAVE to make sure the photo is the right dimension; if it is also 1 pixel off Facebook will compress it as well as your top quality will certainly go down-the-tube. So, what size should it be?

For an organisation page (and also your individual cover picture): 851 x 315 pixels [WxH] For a Facebook group page: 801 x 250 pixels

The "regular" means to save anything for internet use is to "save for internet use" as a PNG documents kind BUT, when it comes to our podcast FB group picture, it wasn't working, it was resembling this [look close, you'll see pixelation particularly around the text on the left-hand side of the image]

So, I did a little study and also recognized that Facebook press ANYTHING over 100KB's in size-- even if your image is 101KB it will certainly be pressed and resemble poo.

Exactly how do you repair that? Well, you save it as a JPG as well as control the data dimension [see below]

These are some screenshots from Photoshop of exactly how I dimension and also save my images (this example is a Facebook Business page Cover Photo).

Begin with the proper size.

Create the image.

Conserve as a JPG.

In the majority of editing programs, you'll see exactly what size the JPG will be, in my situation it was 202.6 kb, so I dragged the quality slider till I got it the closest to 100KB without discussing [ya recognize, type of like the Rate is Right, ha!]

Alright, I lowered the file dimension to 99KB and below is the brand-new screenshot of exactly what our team picture resembled ... MUCH BETTER!

Completely disclosure, we actually changed our brand around a bit hereafter all went down, so this is the actual existing photos on our team page-- yet still, no pixelation.

There you have it! Just how you could prevent the ever-so-present pixelation in Facebook cover images.
