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.

An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

    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.
