AW,

Facebook and other social media are notorious for detroying/uglifying artwork by downgrading (to save bandwidth or some other excuse).

Facebook compresses images and graphics.  This compression is so that countries with slower internet can easily view images quickly.  They have gotten better over the years and I do not notice the pixelation as much, but it still can happen.

Another possibility is that you are uploading it as low res.  I always have my res set to 300 dpi. 

But most likely it is Facebook compressing your image.
