Facebook image quality

Sorry if this is old news, but I finally found this out. I am often frustrated when uploading a beautiful, sharp image taken with my DSLR to Facebook, only to find it heavily compressed and resized, leaving it fuzzy and lifeless and no better than a phone pic.

Well, the simple secret, as described in Facebook's own help document, is to size your photo to either 720, 960, or 2048 pixels wide. I tried it, and it works.

Thanks for the advice.

Facebook is well known to damage the pixels of the photos. Although they are aware of this they have yet to fix it. I am not aware of any social media platform that actually keeps the image the same as pre-uploading. Do you?

that's the reason all my clients are getting images sized to 2048.

Thanks! I've been frustrated with that too. I will follow your advice!
