Social media image pack

Each network wants its own shapes, and they rarely match. X uses 1600 × 900 for a landscape post and 1500 × 500 for the header. LinkedIn wants 1200 × 627 for link posts and 1584 × 396 for the banner. Instagram leans on the 1080 × 1350 portrait post and the 1080 × 1920 story. YouTube needs a 1280 × 720 thumbnail and a 2560 × 1440 banner, and TikTok a 1080 × 1920 cover. The pack makes all of them for the platforms you tick.

The numbers add up quickly. All five platforms give 18 sizes per photo, or 23 if you include the profile photos. That's why profile sizes are skipped by default: you rarely want your avatar cut from the same picture as your posts. The ZIP puts each platform in its own folder, and every file name includes the size, such as beach-banner-1584x396.jpg, so you can find the right one when you upload it.

Every size is cropped from the centre of the photo. That suits a subject in the middle of the frame, but a very wide banner can cut off a head or a line of text. If the shapes differ too much, choose Fit on blur. The whole photo is kept and placed on a soft, blurred copy of itself, so nothing is lost and the edges still match the picture's colours.

The pack is for getting everything done in one go. When one image matters more, such as a channel banner, a LinkedIn cover or a thumbnail with text on it, use the resizer for that platform instead. There you can move the crop by hand, see where the profile photo or timestamp will sit, and fill any spare space with a colour. The pack always saves JPG, at the quality you set.
