What Size? - 03-31-2009, 01:26 PM


Bride from recent wedding would like a copy of her photos for Facebook - she is a friend, so I'm ok with giving them to her, HOWEVER, I only want to size them big enough for Facebook, and not big enough to print from - any suggestions?

These suggestions sound pretty good. The ones I usually post are 72 dpi with the file sizes ending up no larger than 900 kb (don't remember the dimensions).

Does she really want all of her photos? Maybe give her just a few? Or one?

Yep.

To me, 500 pixels on the long side is about right for facebook stuff.
