Do you have the right Twitter image sizes? This article mentions the updates made to the platform and shows the differences between them by showing graphics as examples. It covers the images sizes for the Twitter avatar/profile picture, header/banner, tweet, and linked images. The article also lists the sizes and the author’s recommendations for promoted tweets (ads), summary cards, and which file sizes and types you can post on Twitter. The author also describes how to create Twitter cards and moments, and post on mobile to accommodate your audience. Some key takeaways are making your profile picture at a 1:1 aspect ratio at 400x400 pixels, banner sizes are at a 3:1 aspect ratio at 1500x500 pixels, tweeted images are at an aspect ratio 16:9 at a minimum of 600x335 pixels, previewed link images are at an image size of 1.91:1 and more included. Twitter accepts landscape and square images and JPEG, GIF, and PNG formats, but not GIF on banner images. No need to have your images cropped when you update them with these specifications.

Want a professional-looking LinkedIn company page? Take a look at your company images! If they are not updated properly with LinkedIn’s guidelines, they may fall short in your page’s appeal. It is important to convey your brand and company appropriately through images that are sized well on multiple devices. LinkedIn has a helpful chart to let you know what their specifications are on company photos, cover, logo, and main images. You can post images less than the recommended size; however, the photos you upload on the company photos section may appear smaller if they are at the minimum size guidelines. For example, the minimum image size for a cover image on a page is 1192x220 pixels, but LinkedIn recommends 1536x768 pixels. For cover photos, you may need to trim the image to fit the screen. The platform suggests uploading a high-quality image using formats of PNG or JPEG. You can also replace the static image on the main/image section with a video link from Vimeo or YouTube. Once you adjust your photo settings, your customers and followers will be able to recognize who your company is amongst the competition!
