Trying to resize my cover image (the logo for my client's company), and I've used every sizing tip/direction Facebook offers (e.g., min. 399 pixels wide, etc.), and the image I'm uploading is still way too big for the Cover Module's 'frame' area. In Preview on your Mac, adjust an image's size by percentage, scale it. You can resize or rotate an image opened in Preview to fit into a particular spot.

Google+ and Tumblr sizes are listed at the end of this post, though not on the chart.

Social media image sizes that work across platforms Here’s a brief rundown of some critical social media photo sizes. Best size for image posts 1200 pixels square is ideal for Facebook and Instagram posts.

It also works well for Google+ and LinkedIn posts – and for Twitter, if you keep any type or other critical elements away from the top and bottom of the image. Squares can also be posted on Pinterest. Test these against the recommended 2:3 Pins, and see how squares go over with your audience. If Pinterest is your main platform, try the 2:3 images on Facebook, as they work there too. Want to cover both Instagram and Pinterest? Try 4:5 aspect ratio.

It’s my favorite size for IG, as it takes up all available height in the feed. Note that it’ll still be cropped to a square on your profile gallery. Best size for link posts Facebook, Twitter and Linked in are all recommending 1200 x 628 pixels, which is 1.91:1 aspect ratio. You need to be including this shape image on every blog post and page! Multiply the width of your content area by.524 to get the image height.

Since my content area is 720px wide, this comes out to 720 x 377 pixels for me. How do I get images to these sizes? Q: Do you have recommendation for how to get photos these desired image sizes? I am using iPhoto and I am not getting exact dimensions you describe. A: You could use a free online photo editor like.

Alternatively, you can use an online image creator that has lots of sizes already set up for you! The two easiest ones I’ve found are. Choose a size template, pick or upload a photo, and it’s automatically sized to fit. Adjust cropping as desired.

Both have a free option or free trial. The paid plans have an amazing Instant Resize feature, so you can make perfectly-sizes images for every network! Watch it on Stencil below.

Facebook Photo Sizes In August 2018, Facebook applied Page Templates based on your business type, such as Services, Restaurant, or Store. This hasn’t affected the image sizes though.

Cover photos are still the same. Recommended proportion for all Facebook cover photos: 16:9. This works perfectly on mobile. You must allow cropping top and bottom on desktop, so don’t place text or other critical elements near the top and bottom. This proportion works out to: 1200 x 675, 1640 x 923, or 1920 x 1080. I always recommend going with a larger image for best quality. While FB sometimes specifies minimum sizes required for upload, modern displays have such great resolution that low quality images don’t cut it any more.
