Questions about Publicize Cropping

 

 

Here’s a screenshot of an original post: (Note the portrait oriented photo)

What I do know is, the Town Logo is an OLD image that I’ve been reusing for years for Town news. Maybe Publicize or Facebook doesn’t like old images?

I would like to know how this cropping happens so I can format the images accordingly so they’ll look better on Facebook. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
