    How to: Create a nice Avatar that fits

    avatarIt is amazing how fast people can judge you with something as small as an avatar. Well, we can’t blame them, as it is the most direct way for others to get an inkling of who you are and what you are about. It will only take an instant for visitors to your network to paint their own picture of you.

    After all, it is the first impression that attracts a life long attention. That is why it is so important to get an avatar that fits!

    Dimensions for Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn

    For Facebook, all images that do not exceed 4mb are fine. Facebook automatically resizes the uploaded image to fit your profile page, allowing you to view the full picture in a smaller scale. Your Facebook avatar is a 50 x 50 pixel dimension extraction from the center of your profile image.
