How to Use the Social Media Image Size Guide
- Find the platform and image type you need in the list below.
- Copy the pixel dimensions with one click.
- Optionally upload an image and pick a target size.
- Download your image cropped to those exact dimensions.
Why the right size matters on every platform
Every platform compresses and crops uploads to fit its own slots. Start from the wrong size and your image gets stretched (adding blur) or cropped in the wrong place, often cutting off a face or your headline. Uploading at the recommended dimensions avoids both.
Because most people browse on phones, a correctly sized image is instantly noticeable: it looks sharp and framed as intended instead of awkward.
One design, many sizes
The same idea usually needs several sizes, a square for the feed, a tall 9:16 for stories, a wide banner for a cover. Keep important text and logos in a central safe zone so they survive each platform's cropping across devices.
Use the size tables here to find the exact current dimensions, then resize your image to match. Start from a high-quality original and crop to the right ratio rather than stretching a small image.
Social media image best practices for reach
- Design mobile-first, most people view social media on their phones.
- Keep key text and logos in the centre 'safe zone'; every platform crops the edges differently.
- Start from the exact recommended size at high quality, platforms compress uploads, so never upscale a small image.
- Use consistent brand colours and style across platforms so people recognise you.
- Vertical formats (4:5, 9:16, 2:3) usually get the most screen space and reach in mobile feeds.
- Respect each platform's content policies and only use images you own or are licensed to use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best image size for social media posts?
It depends on the platform. A square 1080×1080 works well on Instagram and Facebook feeds, 1200×630 is ideal for shared links, and 1080×1920 suits vertical stories and reels. See the full list above for each platform.
Are these sizes up to date?
Yes, these reflect current recommended dimensions. Platforms occasionally adjust their specs, but these sizes are safe, high-resolution choices that display cleanly across devices.
Can I resize my own image here?
Yes. Upload an image, choose a target size, and the tool crops it to fill those exact dimensions and lets you download the result, processed entirely in your browser.
Will resizing crop my image?
To match an exact aspect ratio, the tool uses a centered cover crop so the image fills the frame without stretching. Keep important content near the center.
