Google my business - Image sizes

[coolhandluc]

I have scoured the web in order to find a guide that would give me the ideal dimensions for images to populate google my business page... in vain.

Google itself is very vague about it as indicated below

• Format: JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP
• Size: Between 10 KB and 5 MB
• Minimum resolution: 250px tall, 250px wide

Does anyone know of a guide with optimum recommendation for each photo (profile, Cover photo, business specific photos...)  or alternatively can recommend the exact size needed.

Thanks

Hey Neil,

The problem here is that Google has rolled out both a new local and a new maps interface in the past couple of months, and I'm not sure what this has done to photo requirements. Here are the most recent things I could find for you, but I am not positive the numbers are still accurate. You might need to experiment a bit:

Hope this helps a bit!

Hi there.

I think people are forgetting that GMB and G+ is pretty much the same. As far as I understand, Google is actually moving from personal G+ to Business G+ and changing the name of the network. So, assuming that my thought is correct, I look at this: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1057172?hl=en

And it says:

Tip: We recommend that you choose a photo that's 1080 x 608 pixels. The smallest photo you can choose is 480 x 270 pixels, and the largest photo you can choose is 2120 x 1192 pixels.

Hope this works.
