Frequently Asked Questions

Why are aspect ratios important?

Aspect ratios determine how your image is displayed across devices. Using the correct ratio prevents unwanted cropping or stretching.

What happens if I upload the wrong size?

Most platforms will auto-crop or resize your image, which may cut off important content. Always design at the recommended size.

Should I use JPG or PNG?

Use JPG for photos and PNG for graphics with transparency. JPG is smaller for photos, while PNG preserves quality for text/logos.

What about file sizes?

Most platforms compress images automatically. For best quality, upload at the maximum recommended dimensions and let the platform optimize.

Do these sizes change often?

Social media platforms occasionally update their specs. We keep this reference current - bookmark it and check back periodically.
