Update April 2016: I’ve learned that the Facebook cover photo has reduced in width from 851 pixels to 828.

NEW! Coming April 2016. The ideal pin height is 1.5 to 2.8 times (reduced from 3.5 times) the width, which measures out at 736 pixels wide x 1104 to 2,061 pixels tall. Taller pins will be cropped in the stream on mobile.
Updated January 2016! Some sources say 735 is one pixel less than the true pin width, so I updated the chart.
