Facebook

When getting your brand noticed on Facebook, it's essential to keep up with the platform's design changes and image requirements. To ensure your content stands the test of time, make sure to upload top-notch images in the right file formats. Stick to the suggested pixel sizes for profile pictures and cover photos, and think about using PNG files for anything with text or logos. And always remember, go for JPG or PNG to sidestep any compression or distortion issues.

Instagram

Quality is key on Instagram. Whether you're snapping with an iPhone or Android, Instagram ensures top-notch resolution, uploading images at widths up to 1080 pixels. For optimal display, aim for a width between 320 and 1080 pixels, maintaining an aspect ratio between 1.91:1 and 4:5. Otherwise, your photo might get cropped. Remember, smaller images will be scaled up to 320 pixels, while larger ones are downsized to 1080 pixels. To guarantee that crisp 1080-pixel width, keep your app updated, upload images with at least 1080 pixels width and the right aspect ratio, and invest in a phone with a high-quality camera.

YouTube

YouTube maintains a standard 16:9 aspect ratio for computer-viewed videos. If your video differs, the player adjusts automatically to fit both your content and the viewer's device. Sometimes, for unconventional ratios like 9:16 vertical videos on computer browsers, YouTube adds extra padding for optimal viewing, defaulting to white or dark gray in Dark theme. Avoid manually adding padding or black bars to ensure seamless adaptation to your video's size and the viewer's device.
