We’ve all experienced the maddening frustration of Facebook insisting to post your timeline update with a small thumbnail to the side of your content rather than a nice wide one underneath it, then refusing to change despite your repeated attempts to delete and re-post ad infinitum. That’s why we’ve created this handy resource that you can consult whenever you’re posting an update or creating an ad campaign on the most popular social networks. You’ll never post a mis-sized image again!
