Social Media Image Sizes Cheat Sheet 2026 (Updated)
Pixel dimensions for Instagram, Twitter / X, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok and Pinterest in 2026. Profile, cover, post, story, video thumbnail — all in one place.
Every social platform has 5-10 image specs. Designing once and reusing rarely works because aspect ratios differ. Below is the updated 2026 cheat sheet — bookmark it, use it, never guess again.
Resize instantly: the Image Resizer has all these dimensions as built-in presets. Drop an image, pick the preset, download.
| Use | Pixels | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Profile photo | 320 × 320 | 1:1 |
| Feed post (square) | 1080 × 1080 | 1:1 |
| Feed post (portrait) | 1080 × 1350 | 4:5 |
| Feed post (landscape) | 1080 × 566 | 1.91:1 |
| Story / Reels cover | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 |
| Reels post | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 |
Pro tip: portrait 4:5 takes the maximum vertical real estate in the feed and outperforms square posts for reach in 2026.
TikTok
| Use | Pixels | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Profile photo | 200 × 200 | 1:1 |
| Video / cover | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 |
| In-feed ad | 540 × 960 | 9:16 |
YouTube
| Use | Pixels | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Profile photo | 800 × 800 | 1:1 |
| Channel banner | 2560 × 1440 (safe area: 1546 × 423 centered) | 16:9 |
| Video thumbnail | 1280 × 720 | 16:9 |
| Shorts cover | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 |
Channel banner safe area matters — desktop crops show the full banner, mobile shows only the center. Keep logos and text inside 1546 × 423 px in the middle.

Open Graph (universal social sharing)
When someone shares a link to your website on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, iMessage — the image they see is your OG image. Use 1200 × 630 pixels. Works everywhere.
Twitter / X uses the same OG image when "summary_large_image" card is set. See the Meta Tags Checklist for the full setup.
File format choices
- JPG for photos. Smaller files than PNG.
- PNG for logos, screenshots, anything with transparency.
- WebP for the web (your own site) — smaller than JPG with the same quality.
- SVG for logos that need to scale (use for printable QR codes too — see the QR Code Generator).
For social platforms, upload JPG or PNG. Most don't support WebP for user uploads yet (the platform may convert internally).
The 60-second workflow
- Design once at the largest size you'll need (e.g. 1920×1080).
- Drop into the Image Resizer.
- Click each platform preset, download.
- Run any output through the Image Compressor to halve file size with no visible loss.
What changed in 2026
- Twitter / X bumped header to 1500 × 500 (was 1500 × 500 for years, now same but with sharper rendering at retina).
- Pinterest deprioritised 2:1 long pins; standard 2:3 is the recommendation.
- LinkedIn personal banner kept its 4:1 ratio but display crop changed slightly — keep important content centered.
- Instagram extended the supported aspect ratios for posts; portrait 4:5 is now the optimal format for organic reach.
Skip the manual maths: Image Resizer has all these dimensions as one-click presets. Drop your design once, get every platform size.
