Every social media platform has its own preferred image dimensions — and if you upload the wrong size, the platform will auto-crop your image in unpredictable ways, often cutting off faces or important text.
This guide gives you the exact pixel dimensions and aspect ratios for every major platform in 2026, and shows you how to crop your images perfectly using the free Imageflowlab crop tool.
