Every social platform crops images to its own dimensions. Upload the wrong size and your face gets cut off or your banner looks blurry. Here are the sizes that actually work in 2026, and how to hit them exactly.
Profile pictures
- Instagram DP: 1080×1080 square (shown in a circle)
- WhatsApp DP: 640×640 square
- Most apps display square profile photos cropped to a circle
Covers and banners
- YouTube thumbnail: 1280×720 (16:9)
- Facebook cover: 820×312
- LinkedIn banner: 1584×396
- X (Twitter) header: 1500×500
Resize without guesswork
Pick the tool for your platform — like the YouTube Thumbnail Resizer or LinkedIn Banner Resize — and it crops any image to the exact dimensions so nothing important is cut off. Files are processed privately and never stored.
