So I'm trying to upload a profilce pic for my nightclub-event-thingie on facebook. Now, facebook totally rapes the quality. I tried png, tried making it gif and jpg. Tried making the image larger, tried making it smaller. Same shit happens. Been googling my ass off trying to solve this shit and I'm so fucking frustrated right now. Please help.

Here's the image. Its 3,7kb so it shouldn't be the file size that's the problem either.

Try 720*smaller number of pixels., or 2048* smaller number of pixels. (720 and 2048 being longest side) Those are facebook's default resolutions.

In terms of filetype, I'm not sure whether leaving it in jpg with a high quality factor on your side, or putting it in png is better. Both get converted with a low quality factor. I think png would be better.

The inherent problem is the really really low quality jpg compression that facebook uses.

Okay, thanks.

The wierd thing is that others don't have the same problem. I looked at profile pics for some other clubs and it looks good. :/

Zooming in in photoshop I think it's just that your logo is unfriendly towards jpeg compression. Not your fault, but the black and white makes jpeg compression better and you just can't tell in the one above because, I dunno. They look the same when zoomed in.
