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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Instagram supports square posts (1:1), portrait posts (4:5), and landscape posts (1.91:1). The optimal resolution is 1080px wide. Stories and Reels use 1080 × 1920 px (9:16 ratio). Our tool automatically applies these exact dimensions.

YouTube thumbnails should be 1280 × 720 pixels (16:9 ratio) with a minimum width of 640 pixels. The file size should be under 2MB. JPG, PNG, or GIF formats are accepted. For the best click-through rates, use high contrast and readable text.

Use JPG for photographs and images with many colors - it offers excellent compression. Use PNG when you need transparency or for graphics with text and solid colors. WebP offers the best of both worlds with smaller file sizes.

Blurry images usually result from uploading low-resolution files or incorrect dimensions. Social platforms resize images automatically, which can cause quality loss. Always use the exact recommended dimensions and start with high-resolution source images. You can use our Image Upscaler to enhance low-resolution images.
