OG Image & Social Share Size Guide

When you share a link on social media, platforms read the og:image meta tag to show a preview image. Incorrect sizes cause cropping or distortion.

The most versatile size is 1200×630px, which displays safely on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Slack. Keep logos and key text within the 1080×540px safe zone to avoid cropping on any platform.

Pinterest favors portrait images (1000×1500px) for higher clicks. Instagram feed uses square (1080×1080px) by default. Use portrait (1080×1350px) for Reels and Stories.
