Social Media Image Sizes — and a free resizer

Every image size the platforms publish, from their own help and developer pages, checked on 21 October 2026 — with the ones they don't publish marked as such. Then crop and resize a photo to any of them; it's done in your browser and never uploaded.

How to use this

What it does

Lists the image sizes each platform publishes for posts, profiles, covers and banners, with file-size limits and a link to the source. The resizer crops a photo to the exact shape and saves it at the exact size — under the file-size limit where there is one — or every size for one platform at once.

What you'll need

  • A photo
  • The size you need

Steps

  1. Choose the photo and the size.
  2. Drag the frame to choose what's in shot; zoom if you want it tighter.
  3. Download that size, or every size for the platform as a ZIP.

Reading the result

Sizes marked 'ad spec' come from the platform's advertising guide because it publishes no size for normal posts. 'No exact size' means the platform gives a range or a limit, not a size; the note says what it does publish.

Tips

  • Make the biggest version first and resize down — never the other way.
  • Keep text and faces away from the edges of covers and banners; phones crop them.
  • A JPEG of a photo is smaller than a PNG with no visible difference.

What size should social media images be?

Each platform publishes its own sizes, and they change. Instagram now takes feed photos anywhere from 1.91:1 (landscape) to 3:4 (tall) at 1,080 px wide; YouTube recommends 3840 × 2160 thumbnails; LinkedIn's Page cover is 1512 × 256.

This page only lists what each platform says on its own pages, with the date it was checked. Where a platform says nothing — Instagram's profile photo, for example — it says so rather than repeating a figure from a blog.

Why it matters

An image at the wrong shape gets cropped by the platform, often through a face or a headline; one that's too big may not upload, and one that's too small looks soft.

Common mistakes

  • Using a blog's old numbers. YouTube thumbnails went from 1280 × 720 to 3840 × 2160; Instagram now allows 3:4.
  • Square images everywhere. a 4:5 or 3:4 post takes more of the feed on Instagram.
  • Text near the edges of a cover. phones show less of it than computers.

Sources — checked on

Sizes marked 'ad spec' are from the platform's ads guide because it publishes none for organic posts.
