Frequently asked questions

Are these the official sizes?

They're the sizes each platform recommends for upload as of 2026. Platforms change layouts often, so check their help pages for new formats.

JPG, PNG or WebP?

JPG for photos (smallest), PNG for graphics with text or transparency, WebP for websites.

Will it upscale small images?

Yes, if a size is larger than your original, but upscaled images look softer. Start with the largest original you have.
