Prepare images for social posts by checking the platform’s current crop, aspect ratio, and safe areas for text.

Social platforms display images in several contexts, including feeds, previews, and profile grids. A single crop may not work equally well everywhere. Before designing, identify the destination and check its current recommended dimensions because platform specifications can change.

How to approach it

Keep important text and faces away from the edges, where automatic cropping may remove them. Export a separate version for each layout when necessary, and preview it on a phone. Avoid putting essential information only inside a tiny image that will be difficult to read on smaller screens.

Checks before you share

Keep an untouched source file, inspect the exported copy at full size, and confirm that the result suits its intended use. If the image contains private information, check the entire frame and its metadata before publishing.

Frequently asked question

Can one image size work for every platform?

Sometimes, but separate crops often give better control over framing and readability.

For a practical next step, try the Image Resizer. You can also use the Image Compressor for a related image task.
