What is the size of the profile picture in Facebook? How wide is page of your brand? Here are
all the numbers you need and you can even download a handy PDF Facebook cheat sheet.
Due to the recent release of Facebook timeline for brand pages, some new sizes have been
added and old ones modified. We’ve added them here. The cheat sheet pdf and jpg will also be
updated ASAP.

are displayed on timeline posts are really small.
Best practice is to choose your logo.
