Why 100 KB
Facebook's help page for Page covers recommends a JPG under 100 KB at 851×315 and notes that images with logos or text look best as PNG. Our test agrees for photos: the 100 KB JPG is served as uploaded, while larger files get a second encode. This preset finds the best quality under 100 KB automatically.
