Please note that this was published in May 2015. Social media is constantly changing, and we have since published an updated list of sizes here.
Social media today is your customer service desk, your sales platform, your marketing tool, your networking meeting, your brand developer, and even your birthday party. But as important as it is to show up, you also want to look good too (no egg heads, poor resolution, or poorly cropped logos or images). Although the platforms are constantly changing (that’s why there’s no such thing as a social media expert), we’ve compiled these dimensions for your social media art to help you get set up for success.
