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 can’t be edited after they have been posted.
Small, low-resolution photos may appear in a low-quality

The multi-photo posts requirements are:

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 the post depends on the height and orientation of the first image uploaded.
Posts with two images will appear side by side, retaining their aspect ratios.
When there are three or more images, the layout depends on the first image’s height and orientation.
You can upload a maximum of 20 photos in a multi-photo post.
If the first image is landscape or shorter than a 4:3 ratio (or 292px), it will appear at the top, with other images displayed side by side below it.
The maximum height of the image container is 4:5. If the images in the first and second rows exceed this height, the images in the bottom row will be cropped to fit.
The height of the second row will be determined by the shortest image in that row.
Images in the second row will be equally divided in width, and in some cases the images will be cropped to fit the width requirements.
If the first image is portrait, square, or lengthier than a 4:3 ratio (or 292px), it will be shown in the left column, with other images stacked vertically to the right.

Note: You can share either a URL link or an image in a post, but not both at the same time. For URL links, we create a preview image taken from the site being shared.
