Short answer: <\/strong>Use 1080 \u00d7 1350 px (4:5 portrait) for feed images on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, and 1080 \u00d7 1920 px (9:16) for Stories and Reels. Use 1200 \u00d7 630 px for Facebook link previews and 1200 \u00d7 627 px for LinkedIn landscape posts. Square 1080 \u00d7 1080 px images still work everywhere if you want one file for all three.<\/p>\n

Posting the wrong image size is o<\/strong>ne of the easiest ways to make a brand look careless. Faces get cropped, text disappears behind profile photos and uploads come out soft because the platform had to resize them. Each network also keeps changing its layouts, so a cheat sheet from two years ago is probably out of date.<\/p>\n

This guide compares the main image sizes for Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, adds quick notes on X and Pinterest, and shows how to resize one image for all of them without losing quality.<\/p>\n

All sizes are in pixels. If you only remember one rule, remember this: 1080 px wide works on almost every platform, and 4:5 portrait takes up the most space in the mobile feed.<\/p>\n

Instagram image sizes<\/h2>\n

Instagram supports square, portrait and landscape feed posts, but portrait at 1080 \u00d7 1350 px is the strongest default because it fills more of the screen. Stories and Reels use a full-screen 1080 \u00d7 1920 px canvas.<\/p>\n
