Resize to FB Profile Photo

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

Facebook profile photos are displayed in a circle frame measuring about 320 x 320 pixels. The platform will cut the rectangle, so the main subject should be in the middle with enough space. Too crowded photos will be hard to recognize when they appear small in comments and friends lists. Use higher upload resolution, for example 720 x 720, to keep the result sharp.
