The whole social media size guide
Looking for a Social Media size recommendation for you or your business?
We are aware of how challenging it may be to locate templates with the appropriate dimensions. They always seem to be a little off, so we thought we’d make a simple package or list to make it easier for other designers to get the template sizes correct. We also emphasize the safe zone for your material within the templates, so you won’t lose any ground there.
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Behance, and Dribble templates are available here.
