Image sizes for social platforms for labels and artists in 2021

If you are very active on social media which is also very important for you as a label or artist, then you must be aware of the importance of images on social platforms. Every year there is a change in image formats and sizes on social platforms. So, stay updated with the image size you need to follow for social media in 2021.

Image size for social to be considered for 2021

YouTube

  • Cover Photo: 2,048 x 1,152
  • Profile Photo: 800 x 800
  • Video Uploads: 1280 x 720 (Min HD)

YouTube provides you with the option to add different borders to the profile photo, but the size of the image is the same. It means you need to upload your profile photo first and then select a border.

  • Event Image: 1920 x 1080

The profile photos are round in personal profile and Facebook page, but you need to upload your photo as a square image.

  • Tweet with a Shared Link: 1200 x 628
  • Header Photo: 1,500 x 500

The Twitter profile is round same as Facebook. You just need to upload a square picture performing similar testing steps as in the case of the Facebook profile image.

LinkedIn

  • Personal Background Image: 1584 x 396
  • Profile Photo: 300 x 300

Instagram

  • Photo Size: 1080 x 1080
