Social media image sizes for Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube and more

Choose one photo in the social media image resizer, tap every size you need, and press Download all to get them in one zip. The table below lists each size the resizer offers, taken from each platform's own help or advertising pages, checked on 1 November 2026.

Steps

1. Open the social media image resizer and choose a photo. Four sizes are made at once: Instagram square post and story, X post image and YouTube thumbnail.
2. In the Sizes panel, tap sizes to add or remove them. Every platform's posts, covers, banners and profile pictures are listed.
3. Under Framing for every size, choose Fill, Fit or Crop. Each preview also has its own framing switch.
4. For Fit, pick a Background for Fit: White, Black or your own colour.
5. Under Save as, pick JPG, PNG or WebP.
6. Press Download all. Each file is named after your photo, the platform and the size, such as beach-linkedin-banner.jpg. Each preview also has its own Download.

Every size

Platforms change their specs without notice. Where a platform gives only a ratio or a minimum, the resizer uses a common size of that shape.

Fill, Fit or Crop

• Fill covers the frame edge to edge and trims the photo evenly from the sides that do not fit. Right for most posts.
• Fit shows the whole photo, with a plain colour in the leftover bands. Right for a group photo or a poster where nothing may be cut off.
• Crop is Fill where you choose what stays: drag the photo inside the frame, or focus the preview and use the arrow keys, to keep a face in view.

Wide banners need Crop most. A 4:1 LinkedIn banner from a normal 3:2 photo keeps only a thin strip, so drag it onto the part that matters.

Banners: where the covered parts are

Profile banners are partly hidden by the profile picture and the page layout, and the hidden area changes with screen size.

• YouTube channel banner: YouTube says that at the minimum size of 2048 × 1152, text and logos should stay inside the centre 1235 × 338. Everything outside it may be cut off on phones.
• LinkedIn and X: the round profile picture sits over the lower-left part of the banner. Keep names and text toward the middle and right.

Stories and covers

Tall 9:16 formats have buttons and captions over the top and bottom. Meta's guide for Stories suggests keeping about the top 14% and bottom 35% free of text and logos. Use Crop framing and drag faces into the middle.

Quality

Shrinking keeps a picture sharp: the resizer uses a Lanczos filter, which keeps edges crisp. Enlarging cannot add detail, so a small photo stretched to a big size looks soft; a preview that had to be enlarged says "enlarged, may look soft" under it. This is a plain resize, not AI upscaling.

JPG suits photos and keeps files small. PNG is lossless and larger, for graphics with text or flat colour. Saving also leaves out hidden metadata such as the GPS position.

Questions

What size is a LinkedIn banner?

1584 × 396 pixels, a 4:1 ratio, as a JPG or PNG under 8 MB.

What size is an X header?

1500 × 500 pixels, with a 400 × 400 profile picture.

What size is a YouTube channel banner?

2560 × 1440 recommended, at least 2048 × 1152, 6 MB or smaller. Keep text and logos in the centre.

Is the resizer connected to these platforms?

No. It is an independent tool that makes the files on your device; you upload them to each platform yourself.
