Social Media Image Sizes 2026 — Complete Cheatsheet
Why image sizes matter
Each platform has its own optimal image dimensions. Use the wrong size and your image gets cropped awkwardly, appears blurry, or gets stretched — all of which look unprofessional. The Social Media Image Resizer handles all platforms automatically.

What resolution should social media images be?
Always export at 72 DPI for digital use — higher DPI does not improve quality on screens and only increases file size. The pixel dimensions listed above are what matters.
What file format should I use for social media?
JPG for photographs (smaller file size). PNG for graphics with text or transparency. Most platforms convert images anyway, so quality difference is minimal.
