Social Media Image Sizes 2026: The Complete Cheat Sheet for Every Platform
Instagram changed its grid to portrait format in January 2026. TikTok now supports 35-photo carousels. Here are the correct image dimensions for every major platform, updated for April 2026.
| Content Type | Dimensions | Aspect Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Grid Post (new portrait) | 1080 x 1350 px | 4:5 |
| Stories | 1080 x 1920 px | 9:16 |
| Reels cover | 1080 x 1920 px | 9:16 |
| Carousel | 1080 x 1350 px | 4:5 |

Key change for 2026: Instagram's grid now displays posts in 4:5 portrait format instead of 1:1 square. Old square images will be center-cropped. If your grid matters, resize existing images to 1080x1350.

Format Recommendations
For all platforms in 2026:
- JPEG — Universal support, safe default
- WebP — Smaller files, accepted by most platforms now
- PNG — Use for graphics with text or transparency only
Most platforms will re-compress your images on upload. Start with high quality (90+) so the re-compression doesn't degrade too much.
Batch Resizing for Multiple Platforms
If you're posting the same content across platforms, you need multiple sizes from one source image. In Konvrt:
- Open the batch processor
- Drop your images
- Set the crop ratio (4:5 for Instagram, 9:16 for Stories/TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube/X)
- Set the resize dimensions
- Convert and download
You'll need to run separate batches for each platform's dimensions, but preset saving makes this fast for recurring workflows.
Quick Reference: One Image for Everything?
If you can only create one image size, use 1080 x 1350 px (4:5). It works well on:
- Instagram (native grid format)
- Facebook (displays well in feed)
- Threads (native format)
- LinkedIn (acceptable crop)
For Stories and TikTok, you'll always need separate 9:16 (1080 x 1920) versions.
