Even more so if you have a business of your own.

These need to be high-res images, of course, and if you&#8217;re dealing with sub-par image quality you can always <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/increase-photo-resolution-in-photoshop\/\">increase the resolution of your images<\/a> using some widely available tools. As for the size, which, bear in mind, is not the same as resolution, social platforms are regularly changing their guidelines when it comes to the display sizes and formats.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In preparation for 2024, we\u2019ve made an extensive list of the recommended image sizes for social media.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]We\u2019ll cover the following platforms:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;23px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#Facebook\">Facebook<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#Instagram\">Instagram<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#Twitter\">Twitter<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#LinkedIn\">LinkedIn<\/a>\n<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#Pinterest\">Pinterest<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#YouTube\">YouTube<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#Tumblr\">Tumblr<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#Snapchat\">Snapchat<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#Google-Ads\">Google Ads<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;31px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Buckle up, it\u2019s show time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;70px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"Facebook\"><\/a>Recommended Image Sizes for Facebook<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;21px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder   qodef-has-border qodef-image-behavior-custom-link\">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n        \t            <a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/QodeInteractive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Facebook.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Facebook\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Facebook.jpg 710w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Facebook-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Facebook-620x330.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/>                                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;38px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a> is still the world\u2019s most popular social platform. In fact, as of October 2019, it has over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/272014\/global-social-networks-ranked-by-number-of-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2.4 billion active users<\/a>. This social media champion is a great place to increase the recognition of your business, and you should definitely use it to your advantage. What\u2019s tricky about this platform is that you have to make sure to abide by the Facebook\u2019s guidelines for every image you upload, whether it\u2019s your profile pic or an event image.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Adding highly engaging visual content to your page is a must, and these are the recommended Facebook image sizes you should stick to.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Recommended Sizes for Facebook Profile Images<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This is probably one of the most important and the most viewed pictures on your profile. It\u2019s the one that represents your brand and that can largely influence other people\u2019s perception of your business.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Regardless of what you do on Facebook, your profile picture is always visible. It\u2019s everywhere. It acts as an avatar in your posts on your timeline, in the news feed of your followers, in comments, etc. This is why it\u2019s important to opt for a profile pic that best supports your business ideas. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]You could even combine it with your cover photo. Aesthetically speaking, this could look great. However, don\u2019t forget that your profile picture should make perfect sense when viewed on its own.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Size-wise, the Facebook profile image should be <strong>180 x 180px<\/strong> (the same goes for both the regular profile pic and the one on business profile pages). The minimum width is 180px. As for the height, don\u2019t go below 180px, or the pic will be blurry. Since Facebook scales down images, your 180x180px pic will scale to <strong>170 x 170px on desktop, 128 x 128px on smartphones<\/strong>, and to <strong>32 x 32px as a photo thumbnail<\/strong>. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Recommended Sizes for Facebook Cover Images<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A Facebook cover photo is visible on your profile only. However, since it takes up a large portion of the screen, you can use it to tell your audience a bit more about yourself, and to introduce them to the personality of your brand.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Your cover photo will be displayed at <strong>820 x 312px on desktop<\/strong>, and at <strong>640 x 360px on mobile phones<\/strong>, hence <strong>the ideal dimensions of the cover photo being 820 x 462px<\/strong>. Avoid using images that are smaller than this, or else they\u2019ll look blurry, because Facebook will have to stretch them.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Make sure to upload files smaller than 100kb, to avoid Facebook reducing the size of the image. Use sRGB JPG files, unless your cover image is a logo or contains text. In that case upload a PNG file.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Recommended Sizes for Facebook Timeline Images<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an image that you upload to your timeline in order to share it with your followers. To ensure your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shared image<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> always looks sharp<\/span>, go for the <strong>1200 x 630px<\/strong> dimensions. Images will be displayed in your feed at a maximum width of 470px, and on your page at a max width of 504px (with the possibility of scaling up to 1:1).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Recommended Sizes for Facebook Shared Link Images<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Besides sharing images, Facebook also enables you to post links on your profile. Links are usually accompanied by a thumbnail image preview, along with the title and the description of the content you shared. Facebook lets you choose if you wish to share your link with a smaller preview image on the left and the textual content on the right, or you\u2019d rather place the text below a larger, rectangular image.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]The recommended image size for shared links is <strong>1200 x 630px<\/strong>. Square photos should have a minimum of <strong>154 x 154px in feed<\/strong> and a minimum of <strong>116 x 116px on the page<\/strong>. The minimum dimensions for a rectangular photo are <strong>470 x 246px in feed<\/strong>, and <strong>484 x 252px on the page<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Make sure the image you choose fits the content of the link, as well as the accompanying text. If you don\u2019t set a pic and a description on your own, Facebook will set up both using data from the page you\u2019ve shared.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Recommended Sizes for Facebook Highlighted Images<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;24px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder    qodef-image-behavior-custom-link\">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n        \t            <a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/QodeInteractive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Facebook-Highlighted-Images.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Facebook Highlighted Images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Facebook-Highlighted-Images.jpg 710w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Facebook-Highlighted-Images-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Facebook-Highlighted-Images-620x345.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/>                                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]A highlighted image is a great way to promote an important business milestone or some big achievements.

And since Facebook owns Instagram as well, you can actually share your Insta stories on Facebook.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]If you decide to upload an image to your Facebook stories, the dimensions you should go for are <strong>1080 x 1920px<\/strong> in a 9:16 aspect ratio.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\">Recommended Image Sizes for Facebook Ads<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Images play a huge part in every marketing campaign, as they help enhance your message, and also make your ads more eye-catching.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Facebook ads usually consist of an image, a headline, a copy, and a click-through link.

Even Facebook advises its users against using too much image text, saying that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/help\/980593475366490\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">images that have less than 20% text actually perform better<\/a>. NB: On <em>Promote Your Page<\/em>, the image size should be of <strong>1200 x 444px<\/strong>. The headline should be 25 characters long, the text 90, and the link description should contain 30 characters.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>Single video ads<\/strong> have a video in place of an image.

The recommended image size for this type of ad is <strong>1280 x 720px<\/strong>. Regarding the copy, the text should be 90 characters long, the headline 45 characters, and the description needs to have 30 characters.

This type of ad is powered by Facebook instant experiences, which we discussed earlier. The recommended image size is <strong>1200 x 628px<\/strong>.
