About Social Media Specs

Social Media Specs is a free, searchable reference guide that lists the recommended image and video dimensions for 156 format slots across 16 major platforms: Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Threads, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Snapchat, Etsy, Reddit, Spotify, Bluesky, Discord, and Mastodon. Each card shows the format name, media type (Image, Video, or Display), pixel dimensions, and aspect ratio — everything a designer or content creator needs before opening their editor.

Platform requirements differ significantly and change over time. Instagram favors 4:5 vertical posts for maximum feed real estate, while LinkedIn article covers expect a wide 16:9 crop, and Pinterest Standard Pins perform best at 2:3. Getting any of these wrong means the platform crops or compresses your asset, degrading quality and wasting production time. This tool lets you look up the exact spec in seconds rather than hunting through scattered help-center articles.

All 156 specifications are bundled directly into the page. Nothing is fetched from a server at runtime, so lookups are instant, work offline once the page has loaded, and involve zero data upload. There are no accounts, paywalls, or rate limits — just a fast reference you can keep open in a browser tab while you design.

Key Features

check_circle

156 specs across 16 platforms

Covers every major platform from Instagram and TikTok to Bluesky, Mastodon, and Etsy, with individual cards for feed posts, stories, ads, profile photos, banners, and more.

check_circle

Search by name, platform, or dimension

Type a format name like "Reels", a platform like "LinkedIn", or a pixel value like "1080x1920" and the list narrows in real time without a page reload.

check_circle

Filter by platform and media type

Isolate a single platform with the platform dropdown, then narrow further to Images or Videos so you only see the subset relevant to your current project.

check_circle

Grid and list view modes

Switch between a card grid for visual scanning and a compact table for dense comparison — useful when you need to compare multiple formats side by side.

check_circle

Aspect ratio shown alongside pixel dimensions

Every card displays both the pixel size and the aspect ratio (e.g., 9:16, 4:5, 1.91:1) so you can confirm crop ratios before resizing, not after.

check_circle

Instant, offline-ready reference

All data is stored in the page bundle. Once loaded, the tool responds immediately and continues to work without an internet connection.

Common Use Cases

  • arrow_circle_right

    Preparing assets before a design session

    Look up the exact pixel dimensions for every placement — feed post, story, cover photo, ad — before opening Figma or Photoshop, so you create artboards at the correct size from the start.

  • arrow_circle_right

    Auditing a content calendar for spec compliance

    When planning a multi-platform campaign, cross-reference each scheduled asset against the spec list to catch mismatches before production, not after a rejection from an ad platform.

  • arrow_circle_right

    Briefing freelancers or agencies

    Share the exact dimensions and aspect ratios with a designer or video editor who may not know your target platforms, reducing back-and-forth and revision cycles.

  • arrow_circle_right

    Diagnosing cropped or compressed uploads

    If a published image looks wrong, look up the platform spec to confirm whether you submitted the correct dimensions and aspect ratio, or identify exactly which dimension needs adjustment.

  • arrow_circle_right

    Learning the differences between platforms

    Compare how Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest each handle portrait images — all three accept vertical content but at different aspect ratios (4:5 vs 4:5/1.91:1 vs 2:3) — to choose the right crop for cross-posting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Social Media Specs tool? expand_more
The Social Media Specs tool is a comprehensive reference guide that displays the recommended image and video dimensions, aspect ratios, and format types for 16 major social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, and more.
How many platforms and specs are covered? expand_more
The tool covers 156 specifications across 16 platforms: Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Threads, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Snapchat, Etsy, Reddit, Spotify, Bluesky, Discord, and Mastodon.
Are the dimensions up to date? expand_more
Yes, we regularly update our specifications to reflect the latest recommended dimensions from each platform. Social media platforms occasionally change their requirements, and we strive to keep this reference current.
Is my data processed on a server? expand_more
No. This tool is entirely client-side — all specs are stored locally in the page. No data is sent to any server, making it fast, private, and available offline once loaded.
How is this different from the Instagram Post Generator? expand_more
The Instagram Post Generator creates actual post content — it generates text, captions, or formatted visuals for you to publish. Social Media Specs is a lookup reference: it tells you what pixel dimensions and aspect ratios to use when sizing your own assets. Use Specs first to know the correct dimensions, then use the Post Generator to create the content.
Can I search by pixel dimension? expand_more
Yes. Typing a dimension like "1080x1920" or "1920 x 1080" into the search bar matches all specs with those exact pixel values across every platform, letting you confirm which formats share the same size.
Does the tool cover ad formats as well as organic posts? expand_more
Yes. Each platform section includes both organic formats (feed posts, stories, profile photos, cover banners) and paid ad placements (feed ads, carousel ads, in-stream video ads, and more), each listed separately so you can see when the ad spec differs from the organic spec.
What aspect ratios does Instagram support for feed posts? expand_more
Instagram feed posts support three aspect ratios: square (1:1 at 1080x1080 px), vertical (4:5 at 1080x1350 px), and landscape (1.91:1 at 1080x566 px). The 4:5 vertical format is generally recommended because it occupies the most screen real estate in the feed.
