Quick Answer
A profile image, cover and post are different canvases even on the same platform. Use the directory below to choose a placement-specific working preset, then confirm the platform’s current upload instructions. Our presets preserve useful working dimensions; they are not a promise that every dimension is the latest official recommendation.
Settings for this task
| Decision | Starting point | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn company logo | 400×400 | Square upload; distinct from a personal banner. |
| YouTube channel avatar | 800×800 working preset | Check the circle preview and current upload form. |
| Instagram profile | 320×320 working preset | Keep essential artwork away from corners. |
| X header | 1500×500 working preset | Preview device-dependent cropping. |
| Website sharing card | 1200×630 working preset | Check the consuming network’s preview. |
Worked example
A square design placed inside a circular avatar loses its corners. Keep essential artwork inside the circle; merely matching width and height does not make the content circle-safe. A wide wordmark usually needs an icon-only variation to stay recognizable at a small display size.
Step-by-step workflow
- Identify the exact placement, not just the platform name.
- Open the matching size guide from the size directory.
- Export from the largest clean source and choose a format the uploader accepts.
- Use the platform preview to check cropping and legibility before saving.
Limits and final checks
Platform specifications change. In particular, the existing 1280×720 YouTube thumbnail preset is a working 16:9 canvas, not the current highest-resolution recommendation.
