Compress Images for Social Media
Optimize your photos for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn before uploading. Social media platforms apply their own aggressive compression to large files, which can ruin image quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should images be for social media?
Instagram posts work best at 1080x1080 pixels for square or 1080x1350 for portrait. Facebook posts look great at 1200x630 pixels. Twitter images should be 1200x675 pixels. For stories on Instagram and Facebook, use 1080x1920 pixels. Compress these images to under 1MB for fast uploads.
Does Instagram compress my photos when I upload them?
Yes, Instagram applies its own compression to uploaded images. If your file is too large, Instagram's aggressive compression can noticeably reduce quality. Pre-compressing your images to a reasonable size (under 1MB at 1080px wide) often gives better results because Instagram's algorithm does less damage to an already-optimized file.
What format should I use for social media images?
JPEG is the safest choice for social media photos since all platforms support it. Use 75-85% quality for the best balance. For graphics with text or sharp lines, PNG may look better but results in larger files. WebP is increasingly supported but not universally on all social media upload tools.
