Social media workflow

Social media size and ratio tools

Choose dimensions for common post shapes and preview how an image or video fits vertical, square and portrait formats.

Size, ratio and safe area are different

Ratio controls the shape, while pixel dimensions control resolution. A safe area is the inner region where text and important subjects remain visible after interface overlays or responsive cropping.

Platform requirements can change, so use the calculator as a planning aid and confirm critical delivery specifications in the platform's current publishing interface.

Reuse one source more safely

  1. Keep a high-resolution master with extra space around the subject.
  2. Make separate crops for 16:9, 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 when needed.
  3. Keep text away from the outer edges.
  4. Preview each export rather than stretching one file into every shape.
