Social Media Dimensions for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and YouTube – a handy social media sizes cheat sheet

You’re pretty smart, right? (Of course you are!)

So you probably already know how important it is to use visual elements, not only in your blog or website, but on social media too.

If you’re on any of the main social networks, chances are you’ve had to create a header graphic, add a profile photo, and maybe even a customized background image or ads.

It can be frustrating if you are setting up your social media profile and you can’t find the images dimensions for your Facebook Cover Photo, your YouTube channel art, or your Twitter background image.

Even if you set them up when you created your social media profile, changes happen at light-speed in the online world so chances are some of the social media graphics sizes have been updated.

And if you are working with a graphic designer, you’ll need to give the image dimensions when you are planning out what graphics they will create for you.

So I thought I’d save you from searching all over Google (or trying to find that post-it note…seriously, where could it be?) and give you the various size requirements for the most popular social networks.

If you have any questions about social media sizes, or the dimensions for images to use on social networks, just pop your question in the comments section below.
