Why do platforms keep changing these dimensions?

Platforms periodically redesign their interfaces, which changes how much space is allotted for profile and cover images.

What happens if I upload the wrong size?

Most platforms will automatically crop or scale your image to fit, which can cut off important content near the edges.

Does this tool resize images for me?

No — it's a dimension reference. Use our dedicated image resizer tools to actually resize your files to these dimensions.

Are these sizes the same on mobile and desktop?

Generally yes for upload dimensions, though how much of the image is visible without cropping can differ between mobile and desktop layouts.

Is this list kept up to date?

It reflects the currently documented platform specifications; always double-check against the platform's official help center for the latest changes before a major campaign.

About Social Media Image Dimensions Cheat Sheet

Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest each expect different image dimensions for profile pictures, cover images, and shared posts — and they change often enough that a bookmark from a year ago is frequently out of date. Rather than searching platform-by-platform, this tool lists the current recommended sizes for all five in one scrollable reference.

Getting these dimensions right matters more than it might seem: upload an image sized for the wrong aspect ratio and the platform will crop it automatically, sometimes cutting off a logo, face, or key piece of text you carefully positioned. Designing to the correct dimensions from the start avoids that entirely and ensures your image displays exactly as intended.

Whether you're preparing a batch of assets for a client's social accounts, updating your own brand's cover photos across platforms, or just double-checking a size before an upload, having every platform's specs in one place removes the guesswork and repeated searching.

How it works

Pick your platform. Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, or Pinterest.
Find your image type. Profile picture, cover image, or post image.
Design to the exact size. Avoid unwanted cropping by matching the spec.
