Besides making your ads and images clear and engaging you will have to adhere to the upload sizes to ensure that Facebook doesn’t crop or misalign your visual assets.

For instance, images that are uploaded but don’t meet Facebook’s exact guidelines will be automatically centralized based on where Facebook thinks the center is.

This can cause your ad or post to be cut off, thus, derailing your entire campaign.
