Why sizes matter

Wrong aspect ratio means the platform crops or letterboxes your image. Export at the size (or larger with the same ratio) so faces and text stay where you put them.

Platform notes

Instagram

Square (1:1) and portrait (4:5) work best in feed. Stories/Reels are 9:16 at 1080×1920.

TikTok

Full-screen vertical only: 1080×1920.

X (Twitter)

Landscape 16:9 (1200×675) is the safe default. Expect heavy compression — start from a sharp source.

LinkedIn

Square for updates; ~1.91:1 landscape for link-style cards. Keep text large enough for mobile.

Quick habits

  • Export at or above the listed size; don't upscale junk
  • Make platform-specific crops instead of stretching
  • Design for phone-first — most feeds are mobile
  • Keep on-image text large and high-contrast
