When it comes time to upload images to the various social media networks, most people just grab their image and throw it up there. While this often works, just as often it can result in issues where the image isn’t cropped properly, has details covered by overlapping elements, or just doesn’t share properly in feeds. Determining the proper image post size for destinations such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are crucial to ensuring that your social media branding is tight and cohesive.
So, what is the proper post size for Facebook images? What is the correct Twitter header image resolution? What is the best image size and dimensions for uploading to Instagram? And if you’re really adventurous, what is the image size and resolution for a Snapchat geofilter?
Thankfully, those talented folks over at Spreadfast put together a most excellent infographic outlining all of the useful post sizes for the major social media outlets. Whether you’re creating your branding graphics for headers and profile photos, or ensuring that all of your content is sharing without cutting features off, this is definitely a must-have resource.
