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!<\/p>\n

Sizing images wrong is one of the many\u00a0common mistakes<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Today we will explore the current ‘correct sizes’ in 2020 for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and Pinterest. So here’s what Rocket Fuel Design and the social media sites themselves suggest when sizing your images:<\/p>\n

Something different about Pinterest is that it asks you to think vertical, so pinning a Facebook size image here would look bad and will most likely be cut down to fit in the feed. Pinterest recommends using a 2:3 aspect ratio for pins, so intend to create pins where your image\u2019s width is \u2154 its height.<\/p>\n

Here are some example of sizes you can use for your pins:<\/p>\n

\n
• 600 x 900 pixels<\/strong><\/li>\n
• 1000 x 1500 pixels\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
• 1200 x 1800 pixels<\/strong><\/li>\n
• 2000 x 3000 pixels<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Square sized images 180 x 180 pixels <\/strong>can also be used,\u00a0 but they may not perform as well. You can also extend the length of your Pins, to make them as tall as you like, but be aware they will be cropped in the feed.<\/p>\n

  Pinterest Video Sizes:<\/h5>\n

  For videos, it is suggested to use either vertical or square sizing. For best results pin video’s that teaches how to do something and that is around 6-15 seconds of length. Instead of relying on audio use text overlays of captions to describe your video as most people scroll through Pinterest without sound on.<\/p>\n

  \n
  • 1920 x 1080 pixels\u00a0<\/strong>– Vertical<\/li>\n
  • 280 x 720\u00a0pixels <\/strong>– Vertical<\/li>\n
  • 180 x 180 pixels\u00a0<\/strong>– Square<\/li>\n
  • MOV or MP4<\/strong> – Files<\/li>\n
  • Up To 2GB<\/strong> – File Size<\/li>\n
  • 5 minutes<\/strong> – Max Length<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Pinterest Profile Sizes:<\/h5>\n

    \n
    • 180 x 180 pixels Minimum <\/strong>– Profile Picture<\/li>\n
    • 340 x 3 40 pixels<\/strong> – Board Cover<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      And as we have said throughout – don’t go too text-heavy on profile and cover board images. It is important to be able to see text and images clearly on desktop and mobile devices.<\/p>\n
