Users Can Now Upload Up to 720 Pixels Photos On Facebook

6 Comments » Share

You might be using Facebook for many reasons, but might not have realized that this social network site is actually the largest photo sharing site across the world. Thanks to those 350+ million users for uploading their important and precious photos of themselves that the social network is considered as the top photo hosting site. However, the size of the photo one could upload was limited to just 604 pixels till yesterday. But now users around the world have a reason to rejoice, as Facebook has increasing the size of photo uploading up to 720 pixels.

According to Facebook Developer Update –

Starting this Wednesday, January 20, we’re increasing the size of the largest photo a user can upload to 720 pixels (up from 604). We’re releasing this feature to a limited set of users, and will slowly release it to all users over the next three weeks. If you’re querying the photo FQL table or using photos.get to return the src_big image, you’ll need to accommodate for the larger size of these images when styling your application or site, the developer warns.

This might sound interesting to users, but then they have a bad news too. The profile picture is also going through a change, although for worse as they are getting smaller. Facebook is changing the size of the largest profile picture to 180 pixels wide by 540 pixels high (down from 200 pixels by 600 pixels).
