What size should an Instagram post be in 2026?

The best size for Instagram feed posts in 2026 is 1080x1350 pixels (4:5 portrait ratio). This takes up the maximum screen real estate in the feed, giving you 20% more visibility than a square 1:1 post. For Stories and Reels, use 1080x1920 (9:16).

What are the correct TikTok video dimensions?

TikTok videos should be 1080x1920 pixels in a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio. This applies to all TikTok content, including standard videos, photo mode, and TikTok Stories. Profile pictures should be at least 200x200 pixels.

What is the best LinkedIn post image size?

The recommended LinkedIn feed post size is 1200x627 pixels (1.91:1 ratio) for landscape posts. For portrait posts that get more engagement, use 1080x1350 (4:5). Company page banners should be 1128x191 pixels.

Do all social media platforms use the same image sizes?

No. While there is overlap (9:16 for vertical video is universal), each platform has unique requirements. X favors 16:9 landscape, LinkedIn uses 1.91:1 for feed posts, and Pinterest prefers 2:3 vertical pins. Using the correct size prevents cropping and compression.

What happens if I upload the wrong image size?

Platforms will auto-crop and compress your image, often resulting in blurry visuals, cut-off text, or awkward compositions. Using the correct dimensions ensures your content looks exactly as intended and avoids double-compression artifacts.

Should I use JPG or PNG for social media?

Use JPG for photographs and images with many colors. It produces smaller files. Use PNG for graphics, logos, and images with text. It preserves sharp edges. Most platforms convert to JPG internally, so JPG is usually the safer default.
