Why Image Dimensions Matter in 2026
In the age of short-form video and high-refresh-rate screens, using the correct aspect ratio is the difference between a professional-looking post and one that gets ignored. Social media algorithms prioritize content that fits natively within their interface.

Platform Dimensions Cheat Sheet:
- Instagram Feed: 1080×1080 (Square) is the standard, but 1080×1350 (Portrait) takes up more screen real estate, often leading to higher engagement.
- TikTok & Instagram Reels: Always use 1080×1920. If your image is horizontal, our tool will add a black background to fit the vertical frame.
- YouTube Thumbnails: 1280×720 is the ideal size. Ensure your text is large enough to be readable on mobile screens.
