Profile Picture Preview
Facebook crops your photo into a circle — see how much of the corners get cut off at every size it's actually displayed at.
At 24px, Facebook's comment avatar is the smallest of the three sizes checked here, and the one most likely to actually matter — most people see your photo stacked in a busy comment thread, not framed alone at 170px on your Page itself. If a logo or face is still readable at that size, everything larger takes care of itself.
The 170px page-header size is what most visitors actually see first when landing on a profile or Page directly, so it's worth treating as the primary reference size here, with the two smaller sizes serving as a check for how the same photo holds up once it's scattered throughout comments and posts elsewhere.
