Facebook slaughters my photos, easy fix?

[dxbtiger]

As title really, am I missing something simple in either how it is processed or how I save them before I upload them?

They need all the help they can get

Easy. Ignore FB as a host and buy a domain name and some webspace.

^ +1, FB sucks balls at hosting photos. Tried flickr?

From memory FB has changed it's 'Standard' uploading policy which is that it will upload photos to a low resolution unless you specify on the upload screen, which you only get when you upload from a computer, to upload in High resolution, seems a little annoying to me!

Considered this.. However would still use FB anyway for various reasons. May look into this further, who do you use?

Yes, however we don't get full functionality here in the UAE, groups don't work as an example.

Which I always select but still looks like it was taken through a dirty window!

They would if you used a VPN service.

Fair point.

Try uploading at 960px wide and at 96dpi, you should see an improvement
