Facebook/announcement sized files

[Daryl Everett]

I have customers who want to purchase digital copies to share on FB and to use on birth announcements. I am wondering what dimensions I should use for these. I have downsized to 4x6 and smaller...is that the best way? Also any suggestions on pricing these types of files?

Facebook is 720px square. So resize the longest side of your image to 720px.

I have noticed that there is now a "Download High Res" botton under the other normal buttons.
If people upload full rsolution.. you can now apparently download full resolution too.

I size Facebook photos at 720 px on the long side as well.

What is an appropriate price for the FB files? I was thinking of doing a per image price and then a 5 for $X kind of thing. I've thought about $2 each and $5 or 4/$15. I can't seem to feel either is good. $2 seems low, but I wouldn't pay $5 each for thumbnails.

720px is NOT a thumbnail.

For dog sports, I charge $8 for a web-res file and for portraits I charge $15 for a web-res file alone, but will provide one at no charge for any image purchased as a print.

For dog sports, I also offer a disc of web-res files for $60.

Oh, and any images for print (announcements) need to be high-res and should be priced differently than web-res.

I know it isn't a true thumbnail, but to me anything that isn't print worthyquality may as well bethinks for the price examples I supposed my thoughts weren't too high at all!

Some people will try to print the 720 px files anyway, and be satisfied with them. I have in my license for my low-res photos that printing is not permitted, but know that I can't really enforce that.
