The photo requirements are:

The size limit for an upload is 5 MB
Photo must be at least 552 (w) x 276 (h) pixels, but we recommend 1080 (w) pixels to better connect with your audience
The photo's aspect ratio can range from 3:1 to 4:5 (width:height). If the ratio is larger, the image will be centered and cropped to fit the max ratio.
Uploaded photos can't be resized after they have been posted
Uploaded photos/videos can’t be edited after they have been posted
Small, low-resolution photos may appear in a low-quality

For multi-photo posts,

Images will render a max ratio of 4:5 (e.g., 640 (w) x 800 (h) pixels) and the post will have a greater visual emphasis on the first image
The layout of these posts will depend on the height and orientation of the first image uploaded
Posts with two images will appear side by side and will retain their aspect ratios
When posts contain three or more images, the way they appear depends on the height and orientation of the first image. If the first image is landscape, it will be shown at the top, with the other images displayed side-by-side below the first image. If the first image is portrait or square, it will be shown in the left column, with the other images stacked vertically to the right of the first image.
You can add a max of 20 photos in a multi-photo post

Note: Video quality may be lower if your video is close to maximum file size. We recommend reducing your file size for better results.
