I'm trying to upload a 360 image to facebook that is

and facebook will not allow me to because

"Your 360 photo couldn't be uploaded due to restrictions on image dimensions. 360 photos should be less than 30,000 pixels in any dimension, and less than 128,000,000 pixels in total size."

I want to keep the image as large as possible. Is there a way to make photoshop export the image to meet these exact requirements?

    Thanks, I just played with the aspect ratios a few times until I came up with the perfect number and this worked! I was able to get it to the perfect size and it uploaded perfect...

    Your aspect ratio is standard 1.5 or 6*4.

    So if you want o maintain that, then it works out to

    9236 pixels  X 13854 pixels = 127,955,544

    If you didn't mind compromising the aspect ratio, you could closer, but I doubt it would show.

      You image has 27,600x13,800= 380,880,000px which exceeds 128,000,000px so you need to reduce the number of pixels play with Image resize till the number come out to 128,000.000. seems to be 57.97% size.

        If you change the Asect ratio  You would distort the image.  You need to keep the aspect ratio the same and reduce the number of pixels. Width and height should be linked/constrained in the Image resize dialog.

        16000x8000 are the same number I posted 57.97% width and height. Of the original size. the same aspect ratio 2:1

        27600:13800 16000:8000 2:1  are 2:1 aspect ratios.
