The Rumor IS True — Size DOES Matter!

 

Beautiful pictures combined with the correct copy or titles in social networks can sometimes bring fantastic results.

However, a challenge we face time and time again is the annoying question of the image’s dimensions and file size.

Do we crop the image? Do we resize it? What is the secret recipe for photo success on social media?

The headlines and titles customized for each site are different, but if you are too lazy to delve into the subtleties of resizing images for each network, remember this one size:

1024 x 512 px

In most cases, an image with this file size will be displayed correctly (that is, without stretching and loss of quality) on all areas.

If you want to do everything right because you are a perfectionist at heart, we understand and feel your pain.

This is why we have gathered and displayed the main parameters for the main social networks here below.
