The reason is as a result of using inappropriate dimension. Today, we will share with you all sizes that you should use in 2022 for your image before you post on Facebook.
No matter how small in size your image is, Facebook must compress it in order to make Facebook site load faster because they just released that they generate 4 new petabytes of data per day.
