2023 Social Media Image Sizes

Share the goods.

A woman poses for a picture with a giant polaroid prop "Social Media Sizes 2023"

It is exhausting keeping up with all the changes Meta makes. Being a social media manager takes all sorts of talents, from juggling all the tasks, staying educated on all the trends, creating content, designing, monitoring, analyzing, responding…you get the idea. On top of all of that, we have to continually check what each social network requires in terms of image sizes. Woof.

Just last year, we saw more and more content creators using 1080×1350 on Instagram to take up more real estate in the feed—which we have adopted as a best practice internally. However, some things have remained the same.

If you’re like us, you’re constantly searching Google for updated image sizes. To help, we’re mapping it all out for you along with some tips from our social media team. For good measure, might as well download our handy infographic, too.

Facebook

  • Profile Picture: 170 x 170 pixels
  • Post: 1200 pixels x 630 pixels, Min 600 x 315 pixels
  • Cover Photo: 851 x 315 pixels recommended
    • Display Size on Desktop: 820 x 312 pixels
    • Display Size on Mobile: 640 x 360 pixels
  • Event Banner: 1920 x 1005 px

Pro Tip:

  • On desktop, Facebook will add borders to your images if they aren’t sized properly. Watch out for that.
  • It’s important to double check your cover photo on both Mobile and Desktop. While the majority of users are Mobile, there are still Desktop users out there. Look sharp and make sure your cover photo does too.

Instagram

  • Profile Pic: Displays as 161 x 161px. 1080 x 1080 pixel photo upload recommended.
  • Square Feed: 1080 x 1080 pixels
  • Portrait: 1080 x 1350 pixels
  • Landscape: 1080 x 566 pixels
  • Supported aspect ratios: 1:91:1, 4:5 and anything inbetween those ratios

Stories & Reels

  • Reels Cover: 1080 x 1920 pixels
  • Stories & Reels: 1080 x 1920 pixels
  • Supported aspect ratios: 9:16

Pro tip: 

  • The profile grid still only shows a 1080 x 1080 px thumbnail but 1080 x 1350 px gives you more real estate in the newsfeed. Take this into account when designing your content. Keep your most important content within a 1080×1080 frame.
  • When creating your profile photo in the 1080 x 1080 px canvas, consider your text and other items. Will they be legible scaled down to 161 px x 161 px pixels?
  • Reels are cropped to 1080 x 1080 px in the feed as well! It’s important to ensure your thumbnail or cover photo includes all pertinent information within that space.

Twitter

  • Profile Pic: 400 x 400 pixels, 200 x 200 pixels min
  • Cover/Header: 1500 x 500 pixels
  • In-stream Photos: 1600 x 900 pixels, 600 x 335 pixels min
  • In-stream Recommended aspect ratio: 2:1 and 1:1 on desktop, 3:4 and 16:9 on mobile

Pro Tip:

  • While most of us associate Twitter with clever, easily digestible lines of text—images have their place on this channel too. On average, Twitter posts with image receive 150% more retweets than without. So get with it. Until Musk actually raises the character count, there’s some valuable real estate in that 1600 x 900 pixel space.
  • Twitter header images are cropped to an aspect ratio of 3:1.
  • Like Facebook, header sizes can change depending on Mobile or Desktop. Be sure check your work!

LinkedIn

  • Profile Pic: 400 x 400 pixels
  • Cover: 1584 x 396 pixels
  • Square: 1200 x 1200 pixels
  • Portrait: 1080 x 1350
  • Supported Aspect Ratios: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16

Tik Tok

  • Profile Pic: 20 x 20 pixels
  • Composition Size: 1080 x 1920
  • Cover Size: 1080 x 1920

Pro Tip: You may not always want to rely on the generated thumbnails from Tik Tok. Especially if your page is heavily branded. Take the time to make a cover image.

YouTube

  • Profile Photo: 800 x 800 pixels recommended
  • Banners: 2048 x 1152 pixels min
  • Videos: 1280 x 720 pixels min
  • Thumbnail: 1280 x 720 pixels

So there you have it…now bookmark it. From now on, you don’t need to Google ‘Facebook-event-cover-size-instagram-reels-cover-size” every time you schedule your posts.

Still, best to check back in 2024 when this all becomes obsolete again.

FUN FACT FRIDAY: It’s only fitting for us to own a building where a trailblazing female operated her businesses in 1906. The Phillips family represented one of the longest-running retail tenures in Grand Rapids history; L.E. Phillips Jewelry in the 1365 Plainfield Ave. building from 1906 until 1973.
Dr. Eva Phillips, a certified and licensed optometrist ran her practice out of the jewelry store’s secondary parlor and was an equal partner in the jewelry store.

Together, they offered a unique one-stop shot which expanded to include appliances, record players, and more. The couple operated the shop through two World Wars and the Great Depression, acting as the neighborhood matriarch and patriarch.

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).
