Facebook post / share image size (1200×630)
Quick answer
The recommended Facebook post and link-share image is 1200×630 pixels (about 1.91:1). image cat pre-selects it for a clean crop.
Facebook post images and link previews (Open Graph) commonly use 1200×630. image cat crops your image to 1200×630 locally so it displays fully in the feed and in share cards — nothing uploaded.

Why 1200×630
1200×630 is Facebook's recommended landscape ratio (about 1.91:1), and the same one most Open Graph link previews use. At this size, both post images and shared link thumbnails fill the card without cropping key content.
Works for link previews too
If you're setting an og:image (the thumbnail shown when a link is shared to Facebook, LinkedIn or messaging apps), 1200×630 is the go-to. Keep title text in the central safe zone so it survives different platforms' cropping.
Frequently asked questions
1200×630 pixels (about 1.91:1) is recommended. It displays fully and sharply in both the feed and link-share cards.
Yes. 1200×630 is the common recommendation for Open Graph (og:image), so shared link thumbnails display correctly on Facebook, LinkedIn and more.
No. Cropping runs locally in your browser; images are never uploaded.
