Social media image sizes

Every platform asks for its own image sizes: Instagram shows portrait images up to 4:5 in the feed, Stories need 9:16, and LinkedIn and Facebook use roughly 1.91:1 for link images. To show one image everywhere, you need several crops.

The tables list the formats available in Cropy with their size in pixels, aspect ratio and – where the platform sets one – the maximum file size. Cropy crops one image to all of these formats in a single pass.

What to keep in mind

  • Upload images at the listed size or larger. Platforms upscale smaller images, which makes them look blurry.
  • For Stories and Reels, keep about 14 percent of the height free at the top and bottom. That is where the profile picture, buttons and captions sit.
  • Profile pictures are shown as a circle. Keep important content in the centre.
  • Portrait images (4:5) take up more space in the feed than square or landscape images, so they stand out more.
