How to Optimize your Facebook and Instagram Images

Share the goods.

Picture your Facebook or Instagram newsfeed. What do you see?
Let us guess: photos & videos.
Of course, if you want to look good, you can’t just post any image or video that you come across. Your content needs to be optimized for each platform, and for each device someone may be using.
Luckily, we have a handy guide for you to use for two of the most prominent social media platforms: Facebook & Instagram.
Don’t have time to read the blog? Here’s a copy of the PDF guide. Image guide for Facebook & Instagram

Facebook

Some sizes are straightforward on Facebook.
For example, newsfeed images are always 472×394, but a 4:3 image works perfectly fine in most cases. However, simply uploading an image creates a 1:1 ratio image, specifically 504×504.
Also, if the image is being pulled in from an external link, such as a blog post, then it will be 1200×630.
These are the most common image types that you’ll come across, but here are some others:
Event Images

  • 1920×1080
  • In the Facebook groups app, only 1757×738 is visible

Profile Photo

  • Upload as 960×960, visible when clicked on
  • Compressed to 160×160 for most views
  • Also visible as a circle with an 80px radius

Cover Image

  • Desktop – 820×312
  • Mobile – 560×312
  • Make sure your primary content resides within the middle of the image, or it will be cropped out on mobile

Instagram

Instagram is more straightforward since it is almost exclusively viewed on mobile devices, however there are more dimensions to consider other than just the post image.

  • Square post – 1080×1080
  • Landscape post – 1920×1080
  • Portrait post – 1080×1350
  • Stories – 1080×1920
  • Profile – 180×180

National Perimenopause Month starts today. We have a LOT to say, and we’re not going to be quiet about it, especially this month, so buckle up.

We were not prepared for perimenopause, much like our periods, sex, or anything else to do with our bodies. God forbid we talk about it openly.

We were taught to be ashamed, keep quiet, and to accept that it is just part of being a woman. We reject that narrative. In fact, like @bodespeaks, we want to bring it up in every conversation.

When we normalize perimenopause and the conversation around it, we stop isolating, and we’re all more prepared.
Join us for Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause on September 24th — a powerful conversation hosted alongside the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan
Women’s Business Council, featuring some kicka$$ experts who will give you the real talk on perimenopause (more to come on them later).
