Why exact dimensions matter

Each platform crops or compresses images that don't match its expected dimensions, which can cut off faces or important details.

Common sizes to remember

Instagram posts work best at 1080×1080, Instagram Stories at 1080×1920, YouTube thumbnails at 1280×720, and Facebook covers at 820×312.

Skip the manual math

RookImg's Social Media Resize tool includes ready-made templates for Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp and LinkedIn, so you can resize to the exact dimensions in one step.
