How to Select Thumbnail From Facebook Profile Picture

by Raghu on August 14, 2010

Finally, I found the way to customize facebook wall post thumbnail for fanpage. After uploading a profile picture in Facebook (or facebook fan page), by default random thumbnail of your picture will be displayed for all your Wall Posts. I thought, it is not possible to pick an area within the picture to be used for thumbnail, but I was wrong.

Steps to  select thumbnail from profile picture for facebook wall post.

  1. Upload the image for facebook profile picture.
  2. Click on the Image (after uploading). It will open Profile Pictures Folder.
  3. Click on Change Profile Picture Button on Top Right side.
  4. Mouse Cursor will change if you move it Thumbnail Version.
  5. Select the desired area within the picture for wall post thumbnail.
  6. Save Thumbnail Version.

This is useful when you like to display just the part of your logo (instead of some random area).
