Researching the amount of images Facebook deals with every day, I found the following:

  • 2-3 Terabytes of photos are being uploaded to Facebook every day
  • They have just over one petabyte of photo storage
  • They serve over 15 billion photo images per day
  • Photo traffic peaks at over 300,000 images served per second
