I am trying to resize an image to make it a FB profile picture size, but the quality is reduced

[jungl19234018]

Hello,

I am trying to resize my company logo from 1350 x 390 and resolution of 300, to something smaller while retaining the same quality.

My aim is to use it as a facebook profile picture, but whenever I try adding it on facebook, the large resolution is kept and it is trying to get me to crop the image.

If anyone can please help that'll be great.

Thank you

I take it you are speaking of the profile picture and not the larger cover image to the right. The profile pic needs to be square. Use the crop tool in your editing software and set width and height to 170 px x 170 px and resolution to 72

Drag the crop cursor over your image until you get the best content within the square. Then click the checkmark.

From the menu choose Save for Web (export legacy in Photoshop) and set quality to about 60 which will add some compression for faster page loading on FB while still giving a good quality.
