A good one for our famous moderator 
If you look down in the deep space section, the reduced images are mostly JPEG.
Some random examples:
JPEG 167.4kB , 1024 x 632
JPEG 191.5kB, 1387 x 1181
The download page that comes up says the max. file size is 200kb.
I have found that it will accept up to 2Mb, but will then scale down your image to 200kb.
After downsizing an image (using the 'save as JPEG' function) I will open it with a previewer and check the files size and resolution.
So all that means if you get your image below 2MB (in JPEG), your good to go. |
Hello Peter,
For me that would beg the question of whether it is better to downsize the image yourself OR have the website (IIS in this case) downsize the image for you. I suppose there is no substitute for a back to back test with one's own image; however, here is some suggestion that it might be best to do it yourself (atleast on Facebook FOR
COVERPHOTOS)......

In this example one can see increased JPEG artifacting around the bird for COVERPHOTO IMAGES (Not Timeline images) images down-sampled from larger masters. It was also suggested as best to select "Save for Web" .Best to try a back to back test and see.
Best
