Stop the Scrolling! How to Make Your Social Media Images Stand Out with Perfect Sizing.

Hey everyone! We all know the struggle: you spend ages crafting the perfect social media post, but it gets lost in the never-ending scroll. Fear not, fellow content creators! Today, we’re diving deep into the world of social media image sizes and how to use them to stop the scroll and make your content shine!

Here are some tips to get you started:

01. Know Your Platform: Every platform has its own ideal image dimensions. Facebook cover photos are different from Instagram Stories, for example. A quick Google search will give you the latest specs for each platform.

02. Think Beyond the Crop: Social media platforms often automatically crop images to fit their feeds. Make sure your key message and visuals are centred within a safe zone to avoid getting cut off. Imagine a grid on your image to ensure everything important stays visible.

03. Hold Different Sizes: Many platforms allow for multiple image formats within a single post. Use a mix of squares, rectangles, and even stories to create a visually dynamic and engaging experience for your audience. Think collage, product carousels, or contrasting portrait and landscape images! ️

04. High quality is Key: Don’t sacrifice quality for size! Use high-resolution images that won’t pixelate when resized.
