gates / gates (push) Successful in 4m36s
marketing/facebook: Page settings set by hand (intro, action button, Messenger welcome, username felhom.eu)
Ran marketing/facebook/TASK-page-setup-windows.md from the Windows workstation
through Claude in Chrome. Evidence in
documentation/audits/facebook-page-setup-2026-10-08/, report in
REPORT-facebook-page-setup.md.

Done, each read back from a different channel than the edit: the intro is
COPY.md §1 (Graph `about` hex-equal, 99 chars); the action button is
"További információ" to https://felhom.eu/; the Messenger welcome is COPY.md §3
(hex-equal) and the automation is on; the username is felhom.eu, so the Page
answers at facebook.com/felhom.eu.

Not done: COPY.md §2 has no field to go in — Facebook's current Pages
experience has no long-description field and the Graph `description` is null
and unwritable with the robot key's scopes. R-917, four options, operator's
call; no Hungarian copy was shortened.

Phase A read Meta's size page first-hand: it carries none of the 820x312 /
640x360 figures our README asserted, and its own two ratios contradict the file
it recommends. README's grade and comparison rewritten; what we build is
unchanged.

Phase C measured the computer width (cover whole, no crop, profile circle 16 px
clear). The 390 px phone check was NOT performed: narrowing a desktop browser
never gives Facebook's phone layout. R-918.

Nothing posted; no ad, no boost, no Meta Verified; the Meta app stays in
development mode; no host, guest, box or hub touched.

Phase A — Meta's own picture-size page, read first-hand

Title „A Facebook-oldalak profilképének és borítóképének méretei | Facebook Súgóközpont"

How Claude in Chrome on the Windows workstation, tab „Számítógépes súgó" (the default tab for a desktop browser)

DooPlex could not open this page (it needs a browser); this is the first first-hand read.

The quote — verbatim, every pixel figure

A logódat vagy szöveget is tartalmazó profilképek és borítóképek esetén PNG-fájl használatával jobb eredményt érhetsz el.

A borítóképed bal oldalát részben takarni fogja a profilképed, és előfordulhat, hogy körül lesz vágva és át lesz méretezve, hogy igazodjon a különböző képernyőkhöz.

Facebook-oldal profilképe

Az oldal profilképének tulajdonságai:

  • Számítógépen 176×176, okostelefonon 196×196, hagyományos mobiltelefonon 36×36 képpontos méretben jelenik meg az oldaladon.
  • Kör alakban körül van vágva.
  • A legjobb minőséghez 320 képpont széles és 320 képpont magas képet érdemes használni.

Facebook-oldal borítóképe számítógépen

  • Balra igazítva jelenik meg, a teljes oldalt kitölti, oldalaránya 16:9.
  • Legalább 400 képpont szélesnek és 150 képpont magasnak kell lennie.
  • Leggyorsabban sRGB JPG formátumú, 851 képpont széles és 315 képpont magas, 100 kB méretnél kisebb fájlként töltődik be.

Facebook-oldal borítóképe mobileszközön

  • Balra igazítva jelenik meg, a teljes oldalt kitölti, oldalaránya 2,4:1.
  • Legalább 400 képpont szélesnek és 150 képpont magasnak kell lennie.
  • Leggyorsabban sRGB JPG formátumú, 851 képpont széles és 315 képpont magas, 100 kB méretnél kisebb fájlként töltődik be.
  • A profilkép mobileszközön körülbelül 40 képponttal átfedi a borítóképet.

Every figure, as a table

Cover, mobile, aspect ratio 2,4:1
Cover, mobile, minimum 400 wide × 150 high

File format for a cover/profile with a logo or text PNG beats JPG

Compared with marketing/facebook/README.md „Sizes used"

Different. The grade stays a grade of our figures, and most of ours are not on Meta's page at all.

Ours (second-hand) Meta's page Verdict
cover shown 820 × 312 on computers not stated — Meta gives a ratio (16:9), a minimum (400 × 150) and a fastest-loading size (851 × 315) not confirmed; no 820 × 312 anywhere on Meta's page
cover shown 640 × 360 on phones not stated — Meta gives 2,4:1, minimum 400 × 150, 851 × 315 not confirmed; and 640 × 360 is 16:9, which Meta puts on the computer, not the phone
profile picture shown about 176 px 176 × 176 on computer confirmed (and Meta adds 196 × 196 on a smartphone, 36 × 36 on a feature phone)
profile circle over the cover: 16 px / 176 px (computer), 24 px / 196 px (phone) only „körülbelül 40 képponttal átfedi" on mobile; nothing for the computer different — Meta's mobile overlap is ~40 px, not 24 px; the computer overlap is not stated
built at 2×: 1640 × 624 (= 2,63:1) 851 × 315 is 2,70:1; „16:9" is 1,78:1; „2,4:1" is 2,40:1 our ratio is between Meta's two ratios and close to its own recommended file's ratio
PNG for the pictures „A logódat vagy szöveget is tartalmazó profilképek és borítóképek esetén PNG-fájl… jobb eredményt" confirmed — our PNGs are the right format
profile source 932 × 932 (unscaled logo master) 320 × 320 „a legjobb minőséghez" ours is larger than Meta's recommendation, i.e. downscaled not upscaled — safe

Meta's page contradicts itself, and that is the quote's own problem, not ours

Meta states the computer cover ratio as 16:9 (1,78:1) and the mobile cover ratio as 2,4:1, and then recommends the same 851 × 315 file (2,70:1) for both. No one file satisfies all three. This is recorded, not resolved — Phase C measures the live Page instead, which is a different channel from this help page.

Are the pictures still safe?

Not answered here, by design. The task says: do not rebuild in this phase. What can be said from the numbers alone:

  • Our 1640 × 624 cover is far above both stated minimums (400 × 150) and is PNG, which Meta prefers for pictures carrying a logo or text.
  • The safe area we build to — the centre 1028 × 544 of 1640 × 624 — is 1,89:1, which sits inside both of Meta's stated ratios (1,78:1 and 2,40:1) on the horizontal axis but is taller than 16:9 allows at that width. So the arithmetic does not by itself guarantee the computer view is clear.
  • Meta's mobile profile-circle overlap of ~40 px (on a 196 px circle) is larger than the 24 px our README assumed, so slightly more of the cover's bottom-left is hidden on a phone than we planned for.

Phase C is the measurement. Its screenshots at 1440 px and 390 px decide whether anything is cut.
