On Facebook’s Facebook Page, they created an enormous image on their Timeline to celebrate reaching 1 Billion users.
As you likely know by now, the largest area you can “Highlight” on your Page Timeline is 843×403 pixels (see this reference of Facebook Timeline Dimensions). But upon close inspection, this image is actually 843×521.
How did Facebook do it?
I initially assumed they did it custom. They were able to do it because they are Facebook.
But as I looked closer, I realized that this was actually a highlighted photo album. What appeared to be one photo was actually eight. And amazingly, they were all 960×720 pixels.
I was immediately on a mission to duplicate this feat. You can see the result on my Sandbox Facebook Page.
For step-by-step instructions, take a look at the infographic (make sure to pin it on Pinterest!) and video below.

Make sure that once you’ve created your piece of art that you let me know by either commenting here or tagging my Facebook Page!
