Pro tips for social media images

📱

Design at 2×

Create assets at double resolution (e.g. 2160×2160px for a 1:1 post) so they look sharp on retina displays.

🎯

Respect safe zones

For Stories (9:16), keep key content 250px from top and bottom edges to avoid UI overlaps.

🗜️

Compress before uploading

Large files slow down uploads and reduce quality after platform recompression. Use WebP or PNG for graphics, JPEG for photos.

🔲

Test in-feed preview

Profile grids crop images to 1:1. Use Postlia's Post Preview tool to see exactly how your image will look.
