The Application Images, Tab Images, or Thumbnails that made use of to show up under your Cover Picture have actually moved to the left column. Only 3 show on the web page, but when the arrowhead is clicked, every app thumbnail can be seen. It's a good idea to customize them.

Facebook Follower Page App Favicons
The FB Fan Web page Application utilized to have tiny 16px favicons. These have been removed.

Facebook Follower Page Apps

Your Follower Page application can be a solitary image (example here). The width of the tab is 810px, and also the optimum elevation for a full-tab photo is 1200px. This is the only Facebook image that I have actually located to have a file size restriction, and also it's 400kb. Pick the ideal compression when conserving your jpeg, It will not post if larger than 400kb.

Height can differ-- horizontal and tall photos will certainly function. I utilized to recommend a tall percentage of 4:5, now these will certainly be lowered to 504 pixels tall with grey bars on the sides (see sample).

Straight photos will certainly load the 504 pixel width, however will not have the impact of square. Square looks ideal on the wall surface.

The maximum Facebook image dimension for upload and download is 2048 px square. If you submit a bigger photo, Facebook will minimize it so the longest side is 2048 px. Bear in mind that photos can be downloaded and install at the complete dimension you have actually uploaded, at least up to 2048 px.
