Dataset notes

  • Version: 2026-08-14.1
  • Dimensions are expressed in pixels; ratios are reduced to whole numbers.
  • Duplicate routes resolve to the same canonical resizer destination.
  • A linked source can document a platform behavior without making every pixel dimension mandatory. Read the note on the destination guide.

Social image size questions

Is there one best social media image size?

No. Profiles, feed posts, Stories, banners, thumbnails, and cover art use different shapes. Choose the placement first, then use its linked preset and review the platform preview.

Are all dimensions official platform requirements?

No. Some platforms publish formats, ratios, limits, or examples without requiring one pixel size. This guide links source notes where available and labels the remaining values as practical working canvases.

How often is this image-size guide updated?

The dataset carries a visible review date and version. Platform interfaces can change between reviews, so verify important campaigns in the current destination preview.

Can I resize an image from this table?

Yes. Select any placement name or Resize link to open that exact preset, adjust the crop, and download the result.
