What is Social Media Image Size Guide?

Getting image dimensions right is critical for social media — the wrong size leads to cropped profile photos, blurry banners, or thumbnails that look broken. This guide lists the recommended image dimensions for every major placement on Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Pinterest.

Use the platform tabs to filter by network. Each size entry shows the recommended pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, and any platform-specific notes. All sizes are current for 2024.

Frequently asked questions

QWhy do platforms compress images?

Platforms re-encode uploaded images to reduce storage and bandwidth costs. Starting with the correct dimensions avoids additional re-scaling, which preserves quality.

QWhat file format should I use?

PNG for images with text or transparency, JPG for photos. Keep files under 5MB for most platforms. Instagram and LinkedIn now support WebP uploads.

QHow often do these sizes change?

Platforms update their specs periodically — usually after a major redesign. This guide reflects 2024 recommendations.
