Tips for Perfect Social Media Images

Use High Resolution

Start with the highest quality source image possible. Social platforms compress images, so starting with more pixels means better results.

Center Important Elements

Keep key content in the center "safe zone" since different devices may crop edges differently.

Choose the Right Format

Use JPG for photos, PNG for graphics with transparency. WebP format offers the best compression.

Optimize File Size

Smaller files upload faster. Use our JPG compressor or PNG compressor for optimal results.
