The Complete Social Media Image Size Guide for 2025
Getting your social media image sizes right is one of the easiest wins for any brand. Incorrectly sized images get cropped, lose important visual information, and look unprofessional in the feed. This cheat sheet gives you the exact pixel dimensions for every major social media platform, updated for 2025.
Whether you're designing Instagram carousel posts, uploading a YouTube thumbnail, creating a LinkedIn company page banner, or preparing TikTok ad creatives, you'll find the correct size here. Every dimension is just one click away — click any card to copy the width × height to your clipboard.
Why Correct Image Sizes Matter
- Properly sized images look sharper and more professional across all devices.
- Platforms may crop or compress images that don't match their recommended dimensions, hiding your logo, text, or key visual elements.
- Correct aspect ratios ensure your content takes up the maximum visual real estate in the feed, increasing engagement.
- Ads with the right dimensions meet platform specifications and are less likely to be rejected.
Pro Tips for Social Media Images
Beyond just getting the dimensions right, here are best practices from our team:
- Always design at the recommended resolution — don't upscale smaller images.
- Keep important text and logos in the center safe zone, especially for Stories and Reels where UI overlays cover the edges.
- Use PNG for graphics with text; JPEG or WebP for photographs.
- Test your images on both mobile and desktop before publishing.
- Maintain consistent branding (colors, fonts, style) across all platforms for instant recognition.
