In many cases if you develop a single square “profile picture” that scales appropriately for the sizes below, you’ll be able to streamline the process for making updates across all the networks. One big change in 2016 is that LinkedIn has updated their profile picture size since last year. (Previously, the size of the LinkedIn standard logo was 100px x 60px and the size of the square logo was 50px x 50px. LinkedIn has moved to a larger, square aspect ratio in 2016 as you’ll see below.)

** YouTube calls these “channel icons.”

The cover photo or header image is the big hitter on most of these networks. In contrast to the profile images, which are typically square, the various social sites have widely varying sizes for their cover images. Here are a few tips to remember:

Rich content sharing, including image sharing, is increasingly important across social networks. Creating imagery that is the right size for the network minimizes distortion and unexpected cropping.

One of the common questions that we hear is “why is Facebook choosing that image on this link?” or “why don’t my share images look the way they are supposed to?” There are typically two reasons for this. First, you need to make sure the social network knows which image you want it to highlight when you share a link. This is typically done with Open Graph tags or other metadata.

Secondly, you need to make sure the images included in a page or post are the size that the social network expects. If the shape of image isn’t right for the social network, it will often distort or ignore that image.
