One of my coworkers pointed me to this useful resource for those who always have trouble finding the right size for their social images. This website provides what they call a “Social Media Image Maker” that allows you to resize and retouch your social media images.
So if you were wondering how large or wide your profile or posts images must be, stop wondering come here! The process is quite simple, just upload the desired artwork and the app will do the crop for you. It has some nice color effects to apply as well in case you want to make some more edits.
Keep in mind the recommended sizes for each image:
- cover image – 851 x 315 px
- profile image – 180 x 180 px
