Social platforms are always updating their image formatting and layout options, and if you’re not on top of the latest, you could end up giving users a lesser representation of your brand, with blocky, pixelated header images, or out of date profile logos that no longer fit the frame.
If you’re an active social media user, then you don’t need to be told how important accurate image sizing is on social media. Social platforms change their preferred image sizing and formatting every year.
Every platform seems to want different sized images. Some prefer horizontal images, others vertical, and some even prefer square images. To help you with your posting, we present our guide to the best image sizes for social media. We cover all the leading social media networks in this guide.
