Tips
- Go vertical: 4:5 posts take up more of the screen on phones than square or landscape posts.
- Leave safe space: keep text away from the edges of Stories and Reels, where buttons and captions sit.
- Profile photos are circles: keep your face or logo in the centre.
- Export as JPG or PNG: PNG for logos and text, JPG for photos.
Use the image resizer to resize or crop to any size here, and the image compressor to keep file sizes small.
