Recommended Facebook Page Profile Picture Upload Size

This guarantees your company or brand’s social media profile picture displays beautifully across all devices and platforms (Computer Web, Mobile Web, Mobile App).

Recommended Facebook Page Profile Picture Format

When it comes to your Facebook Page Profile Picture Format, Facebook recommends uploading a PNG file format for better image display quality on their website. In other words, do not upload a lossy compressed JPG image file format on Facebook.

Unlike JPEG (.JPG) – a file extension for lossy graphics file, PNG is a graphics file format that supports lossless data compression, and is the most used lossless image compression format on the Internet.
