General Best Practices
Always upload at the recommended resolution or higher. Platforms will compress your image on upload, so starting with a high-quality source ensures the best possible output. Avoid upscaling small images to meet these dimensions — the result will be visibly blurry.
For images with text, keep all important copy within the center 80 percent of the canvas. Profile banners and cover photos in particular display differently on desktop and mobile, and content near the edges is often cropped on smaller screens.
Use JPEG for photographic content and PNG for graphics with text, logos, or transparency. Keep file sizes under 20 MB as a general rule — most platforms accept larger files, but smaller uploads process faster and display more reliably.
