The 2026 Social Media Image Sizes Cheat Sheet

Social media platforms change their requirements constantly. Using the wrong size can lead to awkward cropping or blurry, pixelated posts. Here is the up-to-date guide for all major platforms.

Instagram: The King of Visuals

  • **Profile Photo:** 320 x 320 px
  • **Portrait Post:** 1080 x 1350 px (4:5 Ratio - Best for engagement)
  • **Square Post:** 1080 x 1080 px (1:1 Ratio)
  • **Landscape Post:** 1080 x 566 px (1.91:1 Ratio)
  • **Instagram Stories / Reels:** 1080 x 1920 px (9:16 Ratio)

Facebook: Still Essential

  • **Profile Picture:** 170 x 170 px (Desktop) / 128 x 128 px (Smartphone)

Always try to upload images at their maximum supported resolution. Even if Instagram displays them at 600px, uploading at 1080px ensures they look sharp on high-density Retina displays used in modern smartphones.

YouTube: Thumbnail Excellence

  • **Channel Banner:** 2560 x 1440 px
  • **Video Thumbnail:** 1280 x 720 px (16:9 Ratio - Max 2MB)
  • **Profile Picture:** 800 x 800 px

How to Use Resize.one Presets

We've made this easy for you. If you go to our **[Homepage](../index.html)** and upload your images, the "Popular Presets" section in the Resizer Options contains one-click buttons for most of these sizes. Simply click "TikTok / Reel" or "Instagram Post" and we'll handle the math for you!

Batch Resizing for Multiple Platforms

Content creators often need to post the same photo to Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Instead of resizing three times, use our bulk tool. Resize your batch to 1080x1080 first for Instagram, then do another quick batch at 1200x630 for Facebook. It takes seconds and keeps your brand looking consistent everywhere.

Conclusion

Don't let your content get cut off or blurred. Bookmarking this page (or using Resize.one's built-in presets) ensures that your visual storytelling is always optimal. Happy posting!
