Check recommended sizes for posts, stories, banners, and thumbnails across major US social platforms.
Then resize instantly in your browser with no upload required.
US-focused recommendations by use case. Confirm dimensions before posting to avoid crop and UI overlap issues.
In 2026, dimensions alone are not enough. Design with feed crop behavior and UI safe zones in mind.
| Platform | Use Case | Recommended Size | Aspect Ratio | Display Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Standard Feed | 1080 x 1440 | 3:4 | Less likely to be cropped in profile grids. Strong candidate for future default usage. | |
| Classic Portrait Feed | 1080 x 1350 | 4:5 | Side edges may crop in profile grids where thumbnails appear closer to 3:4. | |
| Square Feed | 1080 x 1080 | 1:1 | Top and bottom can crop in grid views. Keep important elements centered. | |
| Landscape Feed | 1080 x 566 | 1.91:1 | Heavier center crop in grid views. Less consistent with profile thumbnails. | |
| Stories | 1080 x 1920 | 9:16 | Avoid placing key elements near the top and bottom UI areas. | |
| Reels | 1080 x 1920 | 9:16 | Keep key content away from edge UI overlays. Center-first layout is safer for grid previews. | |
| X / Twitter | Single Image Post | 1200 x 675 | 16:9 | Balanced choice for clarity, compression behavior, and loading speed. |
| X / Twitter | Profile Image | 400 x 400 | 1:1 | Assume circular display. Keep key content in the center. |
| X / Twitter | Header | 1500 x 500 | 3:1 | Top and bottom can be trimmed depending on device. Keep key elements centered. |
| YouTube | Thumbnail | 1280 x 720 | 16:9 | Reliable standard size that balances quality and file-size limits. |
| YouTube | Channel Banner | 2560 x 1440 | 16:9 | Design with the center safe area in mind for cross-device consistency. |
| YouTube | Shorts | 1080 x 1920 | 9:16 | Place key messaging in the center area (around 900 x 1160) to avoid UI overlap. |
| TikTok | Standard Post / Ads | 1080 x 1920 | 9:16 | Avoid UI-heavy edge zones for text and logos. |
| TikTok | Profile Photo | 98 x 98 | 1:1 | Place important detail near center for readability at small sizes. |
| Threads | Post Image | 1080 x 1350 | 4:5 | Portrait performs well in feed. Center important text for safe display. |
| Pin Image | 1000 x 1500 | 2:3 | Classic Pin ratio. Very tall images can be truncated in feed previews. | |
| Snapchat | Story / Spotlight | 1080 x 1920 | 9:16 | Keep text away from top and bottom overlay zones. |
| Link/Preview Image | 1200 x 630 | 1.91:1 | Works well for shared links and community previews. | |
| Single Image Post | 1080 x 1080 / 1440 x 1800 | 1:1 / 4:5 | Square and 4:5 usually perform better than wide images in modern feeds. | |
| Post | 1200 x 1500 | 4:5 | Strong mobile-first format for feed visibility. | |
| Personal Background Banner | 1584 x 396 | 4:1 | Design around the center safe area for consistent display. | |
| Company Page Cover | 4200 x 700 | 6:1 | Modern recommendation for business pages. |
On X, layout changes by image count. Design each set around the focal area rather than only per-image dimensions.
| Count | Layout | Per-Image Ratio | Suggested Size | Usage Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Full | 16:9 | 1200 x 675 | Most stable layout for announcements and thumbnails. |
| 2 | Left-Right Split | 7:8 | 700 x 800 | Great for comparisons. Avoid placing text too close to outer edges. |
| 3 | 1 Left + 2 Right | Left: 7:8 / Right: 4:7 | Left: 960 x 1280 / Right: 1200 x 675 | Left image becomes focal. Put the primary message on the left. |
| 4 | 2 x 2 Grid | 2:1 or 16:9 | 1200 x 600 or 600 x 335 | Prioritize consistency across all four panels over tiny details. |
For 2026 workflows, validate safe zones, compression behavior, and device variance in addition to resolution.
| Item | Checkpoint |
|---|---|
| Safe Zones | Design for the inner area that remains visible under UI overlays. |
| Text-heavy X Images | PNG often keeps text cleaner than JPEG when compression artifacts are noticeable. |
| Color Space | Export in sRGB to reduce color shifts across browsers and apps. |
| Large Source Assets | Avoid excessive dimensions. Usually 1x-2x target size is enough. |
| Dark Mode | Low-contrast marks can disappear on dark UI. Add outlines or contrast backing. |
| Alt Text | Add concise alt text including key text shown in the image for accessibility. |
| Publishing Policy | Treat dimensions as practical quality rules, not rigid constraints. |
Browser-only processing. Your image files are not uploaded.
Matching dimensions alone is not enough. Feed crops, UI overlays, and compression can still break your layout.
Some views show only a centered portion of your image. Place faces, logos, and key copy near the center.
Stories, Reels, Shorts, and TikTok overlays can hide edge content. Design around a central safe area.
Thin text and low contrast can degrade after upload compression. Use stronger contrast and larger text weight.
It helps you resize images for major social platforms with presets, live preview, and export options.
Yes. A 3:1 X header preset is included. Keep important elements in the center area.
Yes. Landscape presets like 5:2 and 1.91:1 are included for articles and shared links.
No. Loading, processing, preview, and export are all done locally in your browser.
Upscaling can reduce quality. The tool shows warnings when source size or zoom may cause visible degradation.
