<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=5189561">Wouter Willemse</a> - I do get your point. YOU don't get MY point. I had the same thing happen when I uploaded larger pictures, 900pixels plus. I was advised that the best way to get around this was by reducing the size of the file to below 100kb - hence my question. I have older pictures on my harddrive at around 87kb that uploaded perfectly with no loss of quality at all. If you look at facebook help as well as many articles, it says "To avoid compression when you upload your cover photo, make sure the file size is less than 100 KB." I didn't make it up. </p> <p>The 2nd image I uploaded is more grainy and less sharp than the original image, hence why I wasn't happy with it. I mean, ok, it will do, but I wanted more than that. Thanks</p>

<p>I am uploading a couple of screen shots. Any help would be really appreciated. <br> The first screen shot shows an image in the 'Save for web' option of photoshop. I had to lower the quality to 65 in order to get the image below 100kb. <br> The second image is a screen shot of how the image looks when uploaded to facebook in the 65 quality option. As you can see it looks pretty bad!</p> <p> <img src="http://i60.tinypic.com/2nip5ad.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="http://i62.tinypic.com/rsyadc.png" alt="" /></p>

<p>Thanks, but I don't want to upload photos larger than 800 pixels wide</p>

<p>Hi There,<br> I am resizing some photographs for my Facebook page and would appreciate some advice. <br> I have resized the images to 800 pixels wide and 72 DPI. When uploaded to facebook they look terrible, losing a fair amount of quality.<br> I am sure this can be solved by uploading photos below 100kb. I have been attempting to do this via the 'Save for web' option in photoshop.<br> While I can get the 800pixel image below 100kb very easily, I can only do it by lowering the quality to medium and this doesn't look anywhere near good enough. <br> I am not sure what is preventing my photographs from becoming smaller files without losing considerable sharpness and quality. <br> I am scanning the photos in via my Plustek scanner from 35mm negatives. It is as though something in the photo is bulking up the size of it, any ideas what this could be? Possibly a colour profile?<br> Thank you very much for your help,<br> Marc</p> <p> </p>
