An Awesome Infographic on Social Media Image Dimensions

Social Media changes fast. Very fast.  Just trying to keep up with all of the different platforms, how to approach them and, of course, how to design for them can be a full time job.  It would be nice if all of the platforms used the exact same dimensions and you could just swap photos between them all so that your brand has a nice consistent look across the board.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Social media has proven itself as a crucial component of a brand’s marketing mix, but with the many different platforms, it can be very difficult to put forth a consistent brand image online.

For that reason, we are sharing this Social Media Image Dimensions infographic.  It features all of the major design dimensions for all of the major platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIN, YouTube, Pinterest and the most recent entry, Instagram.

Bookmark this page, download it and share it on your own blog, give it to your designer, agency or whoever is involved in your social media efforts.  Trust us, you will come back to this over and over again.

Since there is a lot of detail in the below infographic, here is a quick reference guide below for some of the most commonly used dimensions. Enjoy and get social!
