Social media image sizes
Updated 26 September 2026
Tool for this guide: Social media resizer
These are the sizes our social media image resizer uses. Uploading at these sizes means the platform doesn't have to crop or rescale your image as much. Platforms change their layouts from time to time, so check each platform's own help pages if something looks off.
| Use | Size (pixels) | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Portrait post | 1080 × 1350 | 4:5 |
| Square post | 1080 × 1080 | 1:1 |
| Landscape post | 1080 × 566 | 1.91:1 |
| Story or Reel | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 |
| Profile photo | 320 × 320 | 1:1 |
Portrait posts take up the most space in the feed. To post a photo without cropping, use resize for Instagram, which adds a border instead.

Tips
- Keep important content in the middle. Profile photos are shown as circles, and banners are cropped differently on phones and computers.
- Export at exactly these sizes. An image that's already the right size isn't resized again by the platform.
- Do a whole batch at once. The resizer handles up to 50 images and crops each one from the centre.
Instagram without cropping
Photos taller than 4:5 get cropped in the feed. To post the whole picture, use resize image for Instagram without cropping, which adds a border instead. Full steps: how to resize a photo for Instagram without cropping.
