About This Tool

Facebook recompresses every photo you upload - and if you feed it a 5MB file, its aggressive processing leaves artifacts and blur. Starting from a well-compressed image under 500KB gives Facebook less to destroy, so your posts, covers, and profile photos survive the feed looking clean. This tool compresses images for Facebook dimensions and sizes right in your browser, with a live preview before you post.

1

Upload Your Image

Drag and drop or browse to select your image. JPG, PNG, and WebP files are supported.

2

Adjust the Quality Slider

Use the slider to control compression strength. The live preview shows the resulting file size instantly.

3

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my Facebook photos look blurry after uploading?

Facebook recompresses uploads aggressively. Uploading an already-optimized file under 500KB gives its algorithm less to mangle, so the result stays noticeably sharper.

What size should Facebook post images be?

Landscape posts display best around 1200 pixels wide; keep files under 500KB. Covers and profile photos have their own dimensions - compress after resizing for the cleanest result.

Does this work for Facebook cover photos?

Yes. Compress the cover to a few hundred kilobytes after sizing it correctly, and text overlays will stay legible instead of turning to mush.
