The aspect ratio for a Facebook post image is 41 20   To find the appropriate widths and height for your photo  you can use the Aspect Ratio Calculator   Here you can select different ratios under    Common ratios     which includes the option    1200 x 630  Facebook    So if the width of your photo is 1800  plug that number into the    W2    slot and it will tell you what the respective height should be

What size this image should be depends on where it is to be used   It is up to applications  eg WhatsApp  Facebook Messenger  Reddit  etc etc to decide what to do with the image  Some use it as a square image  some as a 1 19 1 rectangle  and some use different sizes when the display environment is of different sizes even for the same application  There are no rules  and there is no way to control what applications do with the image   So you should test out the image on your intended target application s  and find a compromise  That applications tend to cache the image makes it a pain on the trial and error approach

EDIT  The current best practices regarding Open Graph image sizes are officially outlined here  https   developers facebook com docs sharing best-practices images    There was a post in the Facebook developers group today  where one of the FB guys uploaded a PDF containing their new rules about image sizes     since that seems to be available only if you   re a member of the group  I uploaded it here  http   www sendspace com file ghqwhr  And they also said they will post about it in the developer blog in the coming days  so keep checking there as well  To summarize the linked document    Minimum size in pixels is 600x315 Recommended size is 1200x630 - Images this size will get a larger display treatment  Aspect ratio should be 1 91 1

According to facebooks best practices it is like this  2016   Image Sizes  Use images that are at least 1200 x 630 pixels for the best display on high resolution devices  At the minimum  you should use images that are 600 x 315 pixels to display link page posts with larger images  Images can be up to 8MB in size    Small Images  If your image is smaller than 600 x 315 px  it will still display in the link page post  but the size will be much smaller    We ve also redesigned link page posts so that the aspect ratio for images is the same across desktop and mobile News Feed  Try to keep your images as close to 1 91 1 aspect ratio as possible to display the full image in News Feed without any cropping   Minimum Image Size  The minimum image size is 200 x 200 pixels  If you try to use an image smaller than this you will see an error in the Sharing Debugger   Game Apps Images  There are two different image sizes to use for game apps   Open Graph Stories Images appear in a square format  Image ratios for these apps should be 600 x 600 px  Non-open Graph Stories Images appear in a rectangular format  You should use a 1 91 1 image ratio  such as 600 x 314 px
