A humongous thank you to Luna Metrics for putting together this awesome and incredibly handy cheat sheet. It is a really helpful tool that you can use when updating graphics on your Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and Pinterest business pages.
As sizing changes are implemented across social networks, Luna Metrics will actively update this sheet – meaning that if you use the embed code at the bottom to share this sheet on your own site, the image will automatically update with changes as they are rolled out. No more out-of-date information.
So, without further adieu, here it is – the ultimate, complete, final social media sizing cheat sheet. You can find a simple text list of the pixel dimensions at the bottom. Save this on your hard drive and never Google ‘Facebook cover photo size’ again.
Here’s The Embedded Code
