social media sizing

When using social media, it’s important to make sure you are sizing your images specific to the platform, whether that is Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Twitter. These platforms utilize images the most and strongly favor them over other types of content. Ensuring that your images are the correct dimensions for each specific platform can be a challenge. Image requirements can depend on the type of device it will be used on andwhere it will be shared which creates a lot of variation in sizes. Beyond dimensions, it’s also best to use file types such as jpeg or png when uploading images. To help navigate you through this confusion, we’ve created a super simple guide to find all of the social sizing in one place!
