Whether you’re starting a new business or finally getting your company online, setting up your social media accounts is an important task that you can’t ignore. However, venturing into creating business profiles and developing an online presence is a little different from creating your own. Using a social media template can reduce the overall length of this process and ensure you’re following the best practices that will lead to social media success.
Once you’re ready to create your profiles, you’ll find plenty of social media templates available, however, they often contain conflicting information regarding social media image sizes and description lengths. To limit confusion, we’ve taken the guesswork out of the process and made a definitive social media cheat sheet for you to use, detailing everything you need to know when creating your profiles.
There are 2 components to our social media templates:
Simply fill out the form below to download the “Social Media Size Guide” and the “Social Media Copy Template”:
Facebook Profile Picture Size: 360px x 360px
Facebook Cover Photo Size: 820px x 360px
The important thing to remember about Facebook is that your banner size will depend on two factors: whether you’re creating a personal page or business page. This guide is specifically for a Facebook page banner.
Many people forget that the top of their banner will be covered by the search bar. Make sure you place everything important in the bottom two-thirds of the image.
LinkedIn Profile Picture Size: 400px x 400px
LinkedIn Banner Size: 1536px x 260px
Your LinkedIn banner is short and wide. Similar to Facebook, there are many LinkedIn templates for personal profiles – however, this template is for your business profile. The official recommendation from LinkedIn (1536 x 768) is too tall, if you upload an image this size you will be prompted to crop it.
YouTube Icon Size: 800px x 800px
YouTube Banner/Youtube Channel Art Size: 2120 x 1192px
YouTube is hands down the trickiest banner to design because while most of the time it will be a long banner, you also need to ensure it’s large enough to be displayed on a TV screen. Keep the important elements in the middle to prevent it from being cut off by the devices it will be viewed on.
Twitter Profile Image Size: 400px x 400px
Twitter Banner/Twitter Cover Photo Size: 1500px x 500px
Twitter has a taller than average banner. The top and bottom will be slightly cut off on the desktop view. Keep in mind that the profile picture will overlap your banner slightly on the left-hand side.
Instagram Profile Picture Size: 180px x 180px
Instagram keeps it simple. The platform is one of the very few social media channels that has not introduced a cover image into their profiles so all you need to worry about is a good profile picture.
