In an age where social media rules just about everything around us, it’s easy to get tripped up on technicalities. Take images, for example. You not only need to pick great ones for your social media posts, but you also have to ensure each image is suited for the network you’re working with. And, to make matters more complicated, these size specifications aren’t the same from channel to channel.
It’s true. From Facebook to Tumblr, each platform has its own set of image rules, and this social media struggle can sometimes (if not always) be very very real. This is why we compiled all of the sizes you need into one comprehensive and alphabetical list. Whether you’re using photos and images on your personal page or your brand’s community feed, save yourself some time with this handy guide below. Post away!
