Current dimensions of Facebook graphics [Updated June 2022]

In all marketing groups the same questions keep popping up – “what resolution for the background photo”, “proportions for the Facebook group Cover Photo” or “what are the correct dimensions for a Facebook event cover”. That is why I created a repository, and in it the current dimensions of Facebook graphics, which I will update on an ongoing basis.
However, this is the place where I have prepared something more than pure theory.
In addition to discussing the dimensions of graphics on FB, I also present the saudi arabia rcs data dimensions I use for my clients below. It happens that after preparing a graphic in the dimensions recommended by Facebook, it is blurry or fuzzy after being added.
The solution to this problem is to use a slightly larger resolution than the one proposed by Facebook. That's why, in addition to the dimensions recommended by Facebook, you'll find here the dimensions that work best for me.
Of course, not all dimensions I recommend will be ideal for your creation. As with most cases considered on Facebook – it depends on many factors.
In my experience, the basis for importing graphics to Facebook is to ensure that their weight does not exceed 1 megabyte (for most posts – if it is a background photo, you have to fit in 100 kilobytes). By using the larger dimensions I suggest, you are able to not exceed that one megabyte. However, it all depends on the specific creation – on how many elements are in the graphic, how many layers in Photoshop you use, etc.
So remember to remove unnecessary layers or flatten them before saving. After saving the graphic (preferably in lossless *.png format), it would be a good idea to compress it.
I recommend the online tool TinyPng or the OS X application ImageOptim . Thanks to such compression, you will additionally reduce the weight of the graphic before uploading it to Facebook. In this way, you will minimize the probability of the graphic creation being compressed by the portal's algorithms.
