The latest image dimensions for major social media platforms, including Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and more.
Why Getting Social Media Image Sizes Right Matters
Social media platforms are constantly evolving, and with every update, image dimensions can change. One day, your profile or cover photo looks perfect, and the next, it’s resized and distorted.
Incorrect image sizes can result in pixelation, cropping, or stretching, which makes your brand look unprofessional. Optimizing your images ensures:
✔ Clear, high-quality visuals – No pixelation or awkward distortion.
✔ Optimized display – Images fit correctly within the platform’s design.
✔ Improved engagement – Well-formatted content performs better.
✔ Future-proof content – Avoids frequent re-editing when platforms update their formats.
To help you stay ahead, we’ve compiled the most up-to-date social media image sizes as of February 2025 for all major networks.
