Uploading the right-sized image boosts your Facebook engagement as quickly<\/a> as you can think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sizes are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your profile picture is a square image that represents you or your brand. Also, your profile picture appears when you post, comment, message, or are searched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minimum Pixels:<\/strong> A square image, ideally of 180×180 <\/strong>pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visibility (Desktop): <\/strong>Will appear as an image of 170×170<\/strong> pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visibility (Smartphone): <\/strong>Will appear as 128×128<\/strong> pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thumbnail: <\/strong>The photo thumbnail appears when you comment, post, or message and will be 32×32<\/strong> pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The profile picture for your Facebook business page<\/a> is not much different than a regular profile picture.

However, it may not get any organic search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recommended Size: <\/strong>The ideal size for sharing a photo<\/strong> or a link<\/strong> is 1200×628<\/strong> pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Square Photo: <\/strong>For a square photo, the image you upload must be 154×154<\/strong> pixels in the feed and 116×116<\/strong> on your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rectangular Photo: <\/strong>Any rectangular photo or link you share should be 470×246 <\/strong>in the feed and 484×252<\/strong> on your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instagram is the most popular photo-sharing social network of our generation.
