why does facebook change photo quality? - jef - 07-31-2013 09:44 PM
I have adobe photoshop cs6 and when I finish a project such as a profile pic or a cover facebook changes the quality and makes it look really bad. One time I spent several hours creating a photo for my friend and i promised it would look great but when he set it as a cover it was horrible.
I tried saving it as PNG JPEG and other formats yet it looks the same. If you know whats wrong help me pls

Not sure but it does it to me too. Photography is a hobby, but I hate looking like a noob!

Facebook is used by billions of people. Images take up a lot of bandwidth and storage capacity, so they severely compress images to spare their own systems.
If you need to share high quality images, try Flickr or other image sites.
