TikTok, Tumblr, Tinder, MeWe, and Meetup sizes are listed at the end of this post.
There’s a Table of Contents if you need a quick answer. You’ll find it underneath the important cross-platform considerations below.
Please leave a comment if any need to be corrected. I’ll update as quickly as possible!
The Best Social Media Post Size
Posting on more than one of the social networks? Don’t drive yourself crazy – use these sizes that work across multiple social media platforms.
Best size for image posts
The optimal size for image posts that work on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest is 1200px x 1500px. These are now shown in full in the feed (new for LinkedIn) and have maximum impact.
This is portrait shape, or 4:5 aspect ratio.
1200 pixels square is also excellent for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and now on X (Twitter) they’ll show in full in the tweet stream.
Squares can also be pinned to Pinterest, and in my experience, can perform well.
A square is a 1:1 aspect ratio.
If Pinterest is your main platform, try the optimal 2:3 Pin images on Facebook, as they work there too. In fact, I love the impact these taller images have on Facebook.
You can control how these tall images are cropped to 4:5 for the Instagram feed, but it’s center cropped to square for your IG gallery. Post 2:3 Pins on LinkedIn, but now they’ll be reduced to fit a 4:5 portrait shape.
Here’s the handy template for tall social media posts that are optimized for Pinterest Pins. Right-click to save to your hard drive.
Best image size for link share posts
The optimal size for sharing links on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn is 1200px x 630px. A link share image is 1.91:1 aspect ratio.
Google Discover recommends minimum 1200 pixel wide images, so this size is a must for all web pages and blog posts you want shared on social.

Facebook Image Sizes 2024
Facebook Cover Photo sizes
There’s a profusion (or confusion) of FB cover photos. Click through to the in-depth articles for details and free templates.
➔ Facebook Page: 1200 x 674 pixels | Optimize your Facebook Page cover photo size for both desktop and mobile viewing.
➔ Facebook Group: 1640 x 856 pixels | Optimize your Facebook Group cover photo size for desktop and mobile.
➔ Facebook Event: 1200 x 628 pixels | Optimize your Facebook Event cover photo size for desktop and mobile.
➔ Facebook Profile: 1200 x 675 pixels | Optimize your Facebook Profile cover photo size for desktop and mobile.
Want one size for all Facebook cover photos? Use 16:9 proportion and allow for cropping.
This size works perfectly on mobile Pages. You must allow cropping top and bottom on desktop, so don’t place text or other critical elements near the top and bottom.
This proportion works out to: 1200 x 675, 1640 x 923, or 1920 x 1080 pixels. Your choice!
I always recommend going with a larger image for best quality. While FB sometimes specifies minimum sizes required for upload, modern displays have such great resolution that low quality images don’t cut it any more. Go BIG!
And, it must be a static image. There’s no longer an option to use a video as your cover photo.
Other important Facebook image sizes

Tumblr image sizes
It’s hard to find image sizes for this platform, and one reason may be that it’s pretty freeform. Different themes can vary greatly.
These appear to be the most common image sizes for Tumblr.
Tumblr Profile Image Sizes
Creating a recognizable Tumblr presence begins with a vibrant profile picture.
➔ Profile Picture: 128 x 128 pixels | Choose a bold and high-resolution image for your Tumblr avatar to make your profile easily identifiable.
Tumblr Post Image Sizes
Express your creativity and mood through Tumblr posts with adequately sized images.
➔ Photo Post: 540 x 810 pixels. When you click on an image in a post, it will open a larger version, if available, with up to 2048 pixels wide and 3072 pixels tall dimensions.
➔ Animated GIFs: 540 pixels wide | To prevent slow loading times, keep GIFs at a maximum of 540 pixels wide and under 2MB.
Tumblr Banner Image Sizes
Set the tone of your Tumblr blog with a captivating banner image.
➔ Header Image: 2048 x 1152 pixels | A wide and high-quality image for your Tumblr header helps create an engaging visual experience for your audience.
High-resolution images are pivotal on Tumblr to maintain visual quality when viewed on different devices.
Consider the aesthetics of your Tumblr theme when choosing images, as they can significantly impact your blog’s overall look and feel.
Tinder Photo Sizes
Nope, I don’t use Tinder, but due to the popularity of this article, Google is sending searchers here for Tinder photo dimensions.
Not one to disappoint, I’m including them for you!
Tinder requires photos be cropped to square for upload.
According to Photofeeler, the required Tinder pixel dimensions are 640 x 640.
In the swiping deck, however, this will be zoomed into and displayed at 600 x 848 pixels. This aspect ratio is 1:1.325, or 7:10.
The exact number of pixels will vary by the viewer’s device.
My suggestion is to start with a photo where your face doesn’t fill the square from side to side, since you can anticipate those sides being cropped off in the swiping deck.
And don’t use a photo where your face is way off to one side, as you’ll lose part of your face in the swiping deck.
Or, you can use an app like Square Instapic that will add borders to the sides of your portrait-shaped portrait to make it a square.
BTW, 8 x 10 is the standard portrait shape. So not exactly Tinder’s 7 x 10, but close.
Wondering how to get a picture to fit Tinder? This template will help.
Tinder Profile Image Sizes
Crafting a captivating Tinder profile starts with selecting the perfect photos to showcase your personality and interests.
➔ Profile Pictures: 800 x 800 pixels | For clarity and appeal, choose high-resolution photos for your Tinder profile image to make a memorable first impression.
Tinder Smart Photos
Smart Photos feature optimizes your profile by continuously testing and rotating your photos to display the most popular one first.
➔ Supported Image Size: Up to 800 x 800 pixels | Use the highest quality images with Tinder’s Smart Photos to ensure the best possible result.
Tinder Moments Image Sizes
Share your moments and increase your chances of getting a swipe right with well-sized pictures.
➔ Moments Pictures: 640 x 640 pixels | While moments are temporary, pick vivid, clear images to capture attention quickly.
Tinder Feed Image Sizes
Engage with your matches directly in your feed by sharing photos of your day-to-day life.
➔ Feed Pictures: 640 x 640 pixels | Keep it social and engaging with crisp images for your Tinder feed, adhering to the recommended size for consistency.
Keep the tone of your photos genuine and reflective of who you are, as authenticity can greatly enhance your appeal on dating platforms.
Avoid using overly processed or filtered photos, and adhere to Tinder’s Community Guidelines to ensure your images are appropriate and respectful.
MeWe image sizes
Tailor your MeWe profile to express your personality and connect with others using the right image sizes.
➔ Profile Picture: 144 x 144 pixels | Use a high-resolution image to Ensure your MeWe profile picture is clear and accurately represents you or your brand. If you have a larger image, MeWe will reduce it to the proper display size.
➔ Cover Photo: 945 x 320 pixels | This is approximately 3 times wider than tall. Make a statement with your MeWe cover photo, but remember the top and bottom can be cropped on various devices, so keep important details centered.
As far as posts, MeWe tells us that you can safely share photos, videos, documents, voice messages, Dual-Camera MeWe’s chats, GIFs, memes, doodles, disappearing content, stories, and much more – but they don’t clue us in on best sizes.
Save time and repurpose content from other networks you use.
The maximum file size you can upload is 500MB, whether you have a paid account or not. This applies to videos, photos, documents, audio files, and anything else you might choose to upload.
Meetup image sizes
A reader suggested this, and after a moment’s thought, I had to agree:
What could be more social than a platform to meet up IRL?
Meetup is all about groups and their events. Of course, you’ll also have a profile photo. You can set one for your account profile and different ones for your groups, if you like.
Meetup Group Image Sizes
Creating a welcoming and vibrant group page on Meetup starts with using the right images.
➔ Group Profile Image: 400 x 400 pixels | This square image helps members recognize your group, so choose a clear and relevant profile picture.
The profile image can be either a photo or a logo.
Your account profile photo will be used by default for your group profiles. Previously, you could update each of your group profile photos individually, but this feature appears to be retired.
➔ Group Cover Image: 600 x 338 pixels | Your cover image is often the first impression prospective members get, so make sure it’s attention-grabbing and indicative of your group’s theme.
Meetup group cover photos are an easy way to differentiate your group and attract potential members.
Use a photo in JPG, PNG, or non-animated GIF format with a 16:9 ratio. The file size limit is 10MB.
If you’re setting your cover photo for the first time, you must set it from your computer.
- Go to your group’s homepage
- If you’re just starting out and don’t have any group photos yet, select Upload a photo.
- If you already have group photos, select Change photo.
- Here you can either Choose from existing or Upload a photo if you want something new.
- Choose your new cover photo and be sure to Save your changes. source
Sponsor logo image dimensions are 120 x 90.
Meetup Event Image Sizes
Each event you create on Meetup can have a unique image that reflects its content or theme.
➔ Event Images: 1200 x 675 pixels | Use a wide high-resolution image to give potential attendees a glimpse of what to expect from your event.
Always aim to upload the highest quality images within the recommended dimensions to ensure they look good across all devices.
A Meetup event photo album is a crowdsourced memory bank for a group.
When an event is scheduled a photo album is created automatically. Group organizers, co-organizers, and assistant organizers can create new photo albums from the Photos section of the group as well. All members can upload photos to an album but cannot create a new album. source
The only requirement here is that event photos be JPG or PNG format and under 10MB each.
How Do I Get Images to These Sizes?
Q: Do you have recommendation for how to get photos these desired image sizes? I am using iPhoto and I am not getting exact dimensions you describe.
A: You could use a free online photo editor like Pixlr. Alternatively, you can use an online image creator that has lots of sizes already set up for you!
One of the easiest I’ve found is Snappa. Choose a size template, pick or upload a photo, and it’s automatically sized to fit. Adjust cropping as desired.
The paid plans have an amazing Instant Resize feature, so you can make perfectly-sizes images for every network!

I had to do some playing around to fit a company cover photo for LinkedIn on both desktop (laptop) and mobile.
1536 pixels worked repeatedly for width, but I had to keep backing down the height to keep everything in the viewable confines. I got down to a 1536 x 256 resolution (just guessing and checking, nothing technical measured) and got things to fit on desktop but on mobile the edges got cropped lengthwise (despite not being cropped when height resolution was higher).
I tried 1500 x 256 and it seemed to fit on both desktop and mobile…
Until I turned my phone sideways – now 256 pixels is too high again! But personally, I find LinkedIn blows up text and images too much to making viewing comfortable with my phone sideways, so I’m not worried about it.
Louise Myers says
Thanks for your detailed explanation, Chris. Not sure why the social platforms need to make this so complicated!
I wouldn’t worry about the phone-sideways version either, as it’s unlikely many people will view LI that way.
Jessica Wallach says
Hi Louise,
This is amazing. I am a photographer and do headshots for social media. I was wondering if there a is one size I could make them for profile photos. If I make the images 720×720 will it work for FB, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram?
Thank you so much!
Jessica
Louise Myers says
Any square size is fine. I recommend 500 but you can go larger if you like. The larger photo *might* get compressed more by the platforms, not sure.

Hi Louise,
I am a designer and have an issue with the cover image on Facebook in size 1200X675. It is looking fine on desktop browser and on Facebook app. But the same image when open in mobile browser is getting too blurry and pixelated. Do, you have any answer regarding to this issue. The same is for LinkedIn also.
Louise Myers says
I don’t have an answer for that… but I do wonder how many people would be using a mobile browser instead of the app.
Jeannine Dowdell says
“WOW” Thanks so much for doing the heavy lifting on this! So Appreciated!!
Ilene says
Thank you so much for the Pin graphics. I appreciate the 2019 sizes for our blog posts about our year travel in Italy!
Kelsey says
I am trying to create a cover image for a facebook group, I have tried all 3 sizes you recommended and sizes recommended on other blogs and no matter what size I use my whole image does not fit! I am using pixlr editor to adjust the image size, what am I doing wrong. I am getting so frustrated!!
Louise Myers says
The whole image won’t show on both desktop and mobile, as they’re cropped differently.
If you haven’t yet, I suggest you get the details on my in-depth article. There’s also a template.

Hi thanks for this great article, its a great help. For you next update, I’d recommend to add the sources for the sizes and ratios.
Cheers,

Louise Myers says
Any particular reason? Are you looking for further info on some of these?
There would be so many sources to cite, so I’m wondering if there’s something in particular you need.
Also, most sizes already have links to other articles where I’ve gone in-depth into why the sizes listed on this page are optimal.
Let me know what you need more info on 🙂

Alan says
Me again. Just done a further test in a Group.
Interacting as a Page in a Group, I’m seeing images rendered from websites as a square.
Interacting as myself in a Group, I’m seeing images rendered from websites as an oblong.
Louise Myers says
Interesting!
Alan says
I’ve been writing my blog posts for awhile now, making my headline banner images 1200 x 637. That was auto-delivered to FB via dlvr.it and rendered as an oblong to present my news item to my readers. That is still happening on one FB account.
BUT, this week I noticed on another FB account that the banner headline images are being rendered SQUARE! Consequently my downloaded image is truncated, and part of my headlines contained in the image look awful!
Got to love Facebook, eh?
Louise Myers says
Have you tried direct posting instead of using that service?
Rana Jayant says
Louis, that’s for making all the info in one place BTW the resizing tool you mentioned was cool and should do the job on its best.

Time to update. FB page cover proportions have changed again. (at least on my version… you know how they are at beta testing what they serve…)
Louise Myers says
Valerie, I’m not seeing or finding anything about a change. What are you seeing on desktop and mobile?
Romario Eichlig says
Regarding LinkedIn, I have noticed that making it 1400×750 will crop the bottom and top of your image.
The most appropriate size would be 1400×725 (maybe 720); this is the only size that worked properly up to this moment.
Louise Myers says
Good to know. Is this for a link share, photo post, cover, or ??? It sounds very close to the recommended 1.91:1 link share image. I still see various sizes/shapes working for photo posts.
Dawn says
Wow I’m so confused by LinkedIn images for in posts. Just did some research and cam across the following link on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/8259
If you’re adding an image to your update, please keep the following guidelines in mind regarding image display size:
•Use a 1.91:1 ratio (1200×627 px).
•Image must be more than 200px width.
•If your image width is less than 200px, it will not display in the larger image format. Instead, images will appear as a thumbnail on the left side of the post.
•Images on mobile will not be cropped. Images of other ratios will show in full with subtle white padding.
Louise Myers says
That’s for a company page and not a regular profile. As far as I can tell, there’s a lot more flexibility in image size for a profile update.
Ayush Gupta says
I prefer Canva for most of my designs. Give that a try. You’ll love it.
Louise Myers says
I know many people like Canva but I’m not one of them!
Jessica says
Great list! I’ve bookmarked it for future use. It’ll definitely come in handy.
Just a small note as I was going through: The LinkedIn image courtesy of should be Brynne Tillman, not Breanna Tillman.
Louise Myers says
Thanks Jessica!
Akash Chauhan says

Thanks so much for this. They’re ALWAYS changing sizes! Drives me crazy.
Love that you’re keeping up to date on this for the rest of us 🙂
Jae-Lex says
This is very useful. Thanks for the information. I just wish that there was just one standard for all social media. It’s a nightmare trying to keep up to date with it all. Especially as they keep moving the goalposts!
Louise Myers says
Yes, they sure do!
David says
Hey Louise,
Nice infographic. I’ve shared on FB. Helpful for me as I regularly share my blogs on social media. With Instagram I face the problem, so now I have a clear idea of it.
Thanks for sharing

Is there a standard size for sharing Images on a LinkedIn company page that won’t cut off the image if seeing from my cell phone? When updating a client’s company page and sharing posts, I follow the recommended dimensions and it looks good on my desktop. If I check the same post on my phone, the image gets cut off. Is it a problem with iPhones? Or just all mobiles?
Louise Myers says
Don’t know. When I checked the feed on my iPhone a couple weeks ago, I saw all shapes of images from both profiles and pages. None appeared to be cut off.
Tanveer says
What maximum size of an infographic (lengthwise) i can post on facebook timeline, confused about it.please mention the dimension in pixels.Thanks
Louise Myers says
I’ve never heard a limit specified. You’d have to test and view on various devices.
John Espirian says
For LinkedIn posts in the feed, images should have minimum dimensions of 552×368 pixels.
Any larger image is fine so long as you maintain the 3:2 aspect ratio.
Louise Myers says
That’s interesting. I’m seeing all different shapes from wide to tall in the feed.
Anne-Kathrine says
Thank you sooo much for this article. I have been looking everywhere for the dimensions for the Facebook group cover (since they changed it again) and the help section in FB itself gives the wrong dimensions. Your measurements of 16:9 worked great on both my desktop and my phone.
Louise Myers says
So glad to hear it’s still working! 🙂
