0- -. Sizes for Social Media – March 2020 (Tips)

It’s 2020, a new decade, and you’re still getting your social media sizes wrong. It’s time to start getting this right once and for all, easier said than done when social platforms like to change their sizes randomly throughout the year. Not only this, every platform has it’s own set of shapes and sizes for each type of post, page or story. So let’s get started on the sizes you need to know for 2020. Remember these sizes are in pixels not mm and are in width x height.

Facebook

Facebook page/group cover photo size: 820 x 312 desktop / 640 x 360 mobile – optimise your design for both

Facebook profile photo size: Minimum 170 x 170

Facebook link preview size: Minimum 600 x 314

Facebook photo post size: Width 476 x variable height – the bigger the better for quality

Facebook event cover photo size: 1200 x 675 – Make sure you check the design on mobile and desktop as cropping will occur

Facebook story size: 1080 x 1920

LinkedIn profile cover photo: 1584 x 396 – this header goes through a lot of cropping from desktop to mobile.

Linked in profile picture: Upload any size between 400 x 400 pixels and 20,000 x 20,000

LinkedIn link preview: 1200 x 628

LinkedIn photo share: 1200 x 1200 or 1200 x 628 – square looks best on a desktop, but this is cropped to horizontal in a mobile feed

LinkedIn company cover photo size: 1536 x 768

LinkedIn logo size: 300 x 300 square

Twitter

Twitter header size: 1500 x 500

Twitter profile size: 400 x 400

Tweeted image size: 1200 x 675

Tweeted images are not 2:1 proportion! If you post that size, the edges will be cut off in the stream. Tweet images are shown in full when clicked, so use a square image for portability across social media networks. However, they will be cropped in the feed on mobile.

Pinterest Profile Photo size: Minimum is 180 x 180 – feel free to go bigger but not smaller

Maximum pin width when clicked: 564

Board cover: Recommended minimum 340 x 340

Minimum image size: 100 x 200

Instagram

Instagram profile photo size: Minimum 110 x 110

Instagram photo size: minimum 1080 width for best quality

Instagram landscape photo size: 1.91:1 proportion, or 1080 x 566

Instagram portrait photo size: 4:5 proportion, or 1080 x 1350

YouTube

YouTube channel Art size: 2560 x 1440

Video thumbnail size: 1280 x 720

Channel icon size: 800 x 800

Snapchat

Story size: 1080 x 1920
