Social Media Image Sizes
A searchable reference of commonly recommended image dimensions across major social media platforms. Platforms change these specs periodically, so the sizes listed here reflect commonly cited, current general practice — always double-check the platform's own help docs before a big campaign.

What to know before using these sizes
The values in the table above are the dimensions platforms commonly state and that are most often used in practice. Social media platforms update these technical specs from time to time, so before a major ad campaign or launch, it's worth confirming the sizes from the platform's own current help/developer documentation.
The sizes in the table represent the resolution at which the platform displays the image on screen. Uploading an image at roughly 2x the listed size, while keeping the same aspect ratio, will often look sharper on high-density (Retina/HiDPI) screens, as long as it doesn't exceed the platform's file size limit.
If an uploaded image's aspect ratio doesn't match what the platform expects, most platforms will crop it automatically — usually a center-crop that keeps the middle of the image. This can cut off important text, a face, or a logo near the edges, which is why you should always preview before publishing.
The "Open Graph" row in the table (1200 × 630) also applies to many contexts that don't have their own row above: the vast majority of link-preview systems in apps like Slack, Discord, iMessage, and WhatsApp don't use a size of their own — instead they read a page's og:image meta tag in its HTML to build the preview image. That's why defining a 1200 × 630 og:image on every shared page of your site gives you broad compatibility across platforms.
