A Newbies Guide to Facebook Image Sizes and Ad Dimensions

By 2020, Facebook will be 16 years old! Time flies and marketing strategies have transformed.

When Mark Zuckerberg came up with his concept of social networking site ‘Facebook’ a few years back, he had no idea what it would become in the coming years. Today, with over 700 million active users, Facebook is the third most visited website in Internet history. Millennials are spending their time on Facebook; every famous brand is there, and almost everyone you know is there. They are all not just there but are active on a daily basis. They see what you post and what you share, and they respond to your posts.

Let’s take a look at some interesting Facebook images and ad stats:

• 30% of Facebook users use this platform more than once a day.
• There are more than 250 billion photos have been uploaded to Facebook.
• And this simply equals 350 million photos per day.
• Over 2 billion users can be reached through Facebook ads.
• An average user clicks on 11 ads per month.
