Frequently Asked Questions
Are these sizes guaranteed not to change?+−
No — platforms update specs occasionally. Always check the latest official guidelines before major campaigns.
Can I use the same image across all platforms?+−
No. Each has different aspect ratios. Use a multi-platform resizer to auto-create all sizes from one master.
What's the safe area for Instagram Stories?+−
Top 250 pixels and bottom 250 pixels are reserved for UI. Place key content in middle 1080×1420 area.
Why does my LinkedIn cover look cropped on mobile?+−
LinkedIn cover crops differently on mobile vs desktop. Test both views. Place key text in horizontal center.
Are video dimensions different from image?+−
Often same aspect ratio but specific resolution requirements. Check video bitrate and length specs separately.
Can I exceed maximum size?+−
Yes for upload, but platforms compress down to their max. Wasted upload bandwidth without quality benefit.
