Platforms change layouts often. These are the recommended upload sizes as of our last review; upload at least this resolution in sRGB JPEG or PNG for best results.
Export tips#
Export in the sRGB colour space, sharpen for screen after resizing, and keep the long edge at the recommended size — platforms re-compress anything larger. For the safest crop, keep faces and text inside the central 80% of the frame.
