Pro Tips for Social Media Images

Export at 2x resolution. Upload images at double the displayed size for crisp results on Retina/HiDPI screens.
Use PNG for graphics, JPEG for photos. PNG preserves text sharpness and logos. JPEG is better for photographic content.
Keep file sizes under 5MB. Most platforms compress large images anyway. Use our Image Compressor to optimize.
Always preview before posting. Crop positions and aspect ratios can change how your image appears on different devices.
