📱 Preparing Images for Social Media
Resize, crop, and convert images to fit every platform perfectly.
Each social media platform has specific image size requirements. Posting an image with the wrong dimensions can lead to cropping, pixelation, or unprofessional-looking posts.
Quick Size Reference
| Platform | Image Type | Size (px) |
|---|---|---|
| Square Post | 1080 x 1080 | |
| Portrait | 1080 x 1350 | |
| Story | 1080 x 1920 | |
| YouTube | Thumbnail | 1280 x 720 |
| YouTube | Banner | 2560 x 1440 |
| Twitter/X | Post Image | 1200 x 675 |
| Post Image | 1200 x 630 |
Step-by-Step Prep Workflow
1 Crop your image to the correct aspect ratio using the Image Cropper.
2 Resize to the exact pixel dimensions using the Image Resizer.
3 Compress to reduce file size (faster uploads) using the Image Compressor.
4 Convert to WebP for the smallest file size, or keep as PNG/JPEG. Use the Image Format Converter.
Pro Tips
- Always export in sRGB for consistent colors across screens.
- JPEG quality 80% is the sweet spot for social media – small file, great quality.
- Use 1:1 (1080x1080) for Instagram feed posts to maximize screen real estate.
