You probably noticed that Facebook automatically creates a “thumbnail” image of your main profile picture, this image is displayed to the left of all your posts.

It’s important that the thumbnail is recognizable and looks good.

However, since the thumbnail image is a square, and most profile picture are rectangular, the “automatically” created “thumbnail at takes can look weird.

Not to worry there are two solutions.

1: Manually crop the image –
1. In the page settings, click on the Profile Picture menu.
2. Edit Thumbnail.
3. Drag the photo to select the desired portion.

Or:

1: Select “scale to fit” to use the entire image. This is what I did for the image for my Facebook page WaldenPondDesign.
