Exporting my a4 poster

Hi, I'm a new gimp 2 user. I have finished an a4 poster for my band. When I export it as a jpeg a small section of the screen is my poster, but there is a load of background which I don't want to see. I did it as a4 in order to print, but would also like to put it on fb, without the background. Any help would be much appreciated.

Zoom In so that it occupies more of the screen ? Your question souunds as if you will be using some sort of screen-copy program to post it.

Just attach it so that a (full-size) image is posted to that site ? (No idea if that works, I don't have any reason to use it but I do see it can be useful for a band)

You can also copy the A4 image (i.e. the xcf file) to a new name and then run Image -> Scale Image to alter the number of pixels and the pixels-per-inch (or whatever metric your locale uses).
