Social media has changed our lives and it has now become an important part of our lives. And in today’s time, Facebook has become one of the most popular social media platforms. People also like to share their photos, pictures, feelings, thoughts, emotions and some sweet memories with their friends through Facebook.
Nowadays, everyone uploads their profile picture on Facebook. But many times when we upload a photo on our Facebook profile, it gets cropped and does not look good. Sometimes, for some reason, you want to upload a full-size photo to your Facebook profile without cropping. But you are unable to upload a full-size photo without cropping. How sad that would be!
If you are looking for a solution to upload a full profile picture on Facebook, then you are on the right blog post. In this article, I will give you complete information about uploading a full profile picture on Facebook without cropping.
Facebook Profile Picture Size
There are certain pixel sizes you can follow to upload your Facebook profile picture from your phone or PC. The pixel sizes are listed below:
- On Desktop: 180 pixels by 180 pixels
