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.
