2020 Image Sizing Guide: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter & Pinterest Some might say size doesn't matter, but it totally does, especially when it comes to social media images. The size of your images on your social media can make a huge difference in the performance of your posts. Unfortunately, every social media platform; Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and Pinterest is a wee bit different! Sizing images wrong is one of the many common mistakes we see businesses make all the time. If there is one thing that makes us and social media managers all over the world squirm in our seats, it's incorrectly sized images. Today we will explore the current 'correct sizes' in 2020 for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and Pinterest.

That's why we suggest that you use less text-heavy profile pictures and more image-based profile pictures!
