General Tips for All Platforms
- Keep important content centred. Profile photos are displayed in circles on many platforms — anything in the corners will be cropped out. For cover photos, keep critical content in the centre third.
- Design for mobile first. Most social media is viewed on phones. Text must be readable at mobile thumbnail sizes.
- Use JPEG for photos, PNG for graphics with text. JPEG compresses photos smaller; PNG preserves crisp edges in text and line art.
- Avoid platform compression artefacts. Platforms recompress images. Start with a higher-quality source than your target to allow for compression loss.
