But today I saw a picture so big I thought it was my contact lens (yes, my contacts make things look noticeably bigger than normal glasses). I think FB finally allow images with maximal width or height of 720 px. You should try it for yourself and update the article, since it's popular on Google :-) Hi,

What am I overlooking? Thanks. I’ve uploaded dozens of images all smaller than 603×603 px @ 72 dpi (I’ve even tried as small as 180×540 px) yet my thumbnail is always cropped. What am I overlooking?

I used it a start point to see what ideal sizes are for Facebook/iPhone - and have discovered that there is a case for using 603 instead as the maximum size. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=245774&id=593745025&l=b6b11cf6d2 Thanks for originating that image Noah.

Facebook re-compressed even my smallest photos, when I did my test back in July 2008. Perhaps I'll re-run my tests to see what they're doing now. Originally I used images of noise, not "every day" pictures. You’ve had better luck than I AzzQim. Facebook re-compressed even my smallest photos, when I did my test back in July 2008.

Yes, correct answer is 604 px for the longest axis, and I always resize photos in Photoshop since it gives much better result (crappy FB algorythm!) Then I downloaded the picture and compared it to original in PS (using difference blend mode) and it was all black, so FB doesn't mess with the pictures if they're max 604 px big but I didn't try this for all size, my pictures are around 0,5 MB anyway.

Now I can size and crop my images to show what I want given the maximum size. Gee thanks Noah, I’ve been wondering about this for a while.
