We’re not simply talking about avatars, covers, banners and headers, we’re thinking stories, videos, ads and thumbnails, which when you put it all together adds up to a lot of recommended social media sizes to adhere to. Unfortunately, there are many and each platform comes with its own varying social media image sizes for users and designers to abide by to make the most out of visual content when connecting and sharing with others. Managing our digital lives would be so very simple if there was only one social media platform on the internet.
