Why Image Dimensions Matter
Each social media platform has specific image requirements that affect how your content appears. Using the wrong dimensions can result in cropped, distorted, or unprofessional-looking images. Our planner ensures your graphics look perfect on every platform.
What is a Safe Zone?
The safe zone is the area where your content will definitely be visible. Elements placed outside this zone may be cropped by platform UI elements, profile pictures, or overlays.
- Keep important text within the safe zone
- Place faces and key visuals in the safe area
- Avoid putting call-to-action buttons near edges
- Use safe zone for logo placement

Font Size Recommendations
Font sizes are platform-dependent. Larger platforms can accommodate bigger text, while compact formats require smaller fonts:
- Large formats (1280px+): Use 72-120px fonts for maximum impact
- Medium formats (1000-1200px): Use 48-80px fonts for balance
- Compact formats (<1000px): Use 36-60px fonts for readability
- Always test font sizes at actual platform size to ensure readability
Optimization Tips
- File format: Use JPG for photos, PNG for graphics with transparency
- File size: Compress images without losing quality (aim for under 2MB)
- Color space: Use sRGB for web consistency
- Text contrast: Maintain at least 4.5:1 ratio for accessibility
- Mobile-first: Test on actual device screens
