2012If you were wondering what size of a photo to upload on photo this guide will help.
The maximum size of a photo Facebook can show a user is 2048x Wide. Any bigger and its wasted file size!
You also want to make the DPI 72, as the is the maximum a screen display can show.
The last setting is your JPG Quality. If you want the best, sure, upload at Quality 100. Your file size will range between 1mb – 1.5mb – This will show your photo maximum quality that is possible on facebook. However, as a [photographer, i don’t want people printing my Facebook shots, even with my watermark there. Do i set my JPG quality to 55. still ok on the screen, but quite bad printed. In Lightroom 4 i actually set the file size max to 700kb and that is about 55-70 in quality. Makes it a lot faster to upload as well.
- Longest Width = 2048px
- DPI = 72
- JPG Quality = 40-100
