Upload the wrong size and the platform crops your picture for you, usually cutting off the best part. Knowing the right dimensions takes five minutes and makes every post look more professional.
Square profile pictures
WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook profile photos are shown as circles or squares. Start from a square image of at least 640 x 640 pixels and keep the face in the middle.
Wide images
YouTube thumbnails use 1280 x 720 pixels. Facebook and LinkedIn covers are wide banners, so check the current size in the app before you design.
Keep the file light
Platforms recompress everything you upload. Starting with a clean, correctly sized JPG gives them less to damage.
Free, no signup, and your files never leave your device.
