Images are everywhere on Facebook. Profile photos, cover photos, thumbnails, ads and sponsored posts are just a few of the many images marketers, designers and those working in social media need to populate.
Facebook is continuously updating its recommended dimensions, making it important to stay on top of the latest specs. TechWyse created the below Facebook image sizes cheat sheet for quick reference of all the dimensions for everything from posts to mobile ads.
The infographic is printable, so you can simply hang the cheat sheet at your desk or office to save you time when designing in the future – or you can bookmark it for quick reference.
Facebook images that don’t adhere to the recommended dimensions can lead to pixelation or clumsy text. This can cause users to ignore or disengage with your posts.

For example, it’s important to note that Facebook will not approve promoted posts with more than 20% text. As well, you’ll be able to see dimensions for images in your news feed as well as the right column.
