Practical tips

  • Keep text and logos centered — edges get cropped on different devices.
  • Test on mobile before posting — what looks good on desktop may be cropped on a phone.
  • Export at the recommended resolution for the sharpest result.
  • Use JPG for photos and PNG for images with text or logos.
  • Avoid important content near edges and corners.

Do social platforms change their image sizes?
Yes. Platforms occasionally update their recommended dimensions. The sizes listed here were last reviewed in June 2026 and are practical guides, not official guarantees.

JPG is best for photos — smaller file sizes, good quality. PNG is better for images with text, logos or sharp lines. Use PNG for profile pictures that need transparency.
