Visual content rules social media. You need to use the right image size on every platform, whether you’re setting up a profile picture or posting a meme. Each social media platform suggests a specific size and aspect ratio for each type of post.
Your brand’s image is built up by the pictures you post. So, this blog post tells you all you need to know about the sizes of images for social media so that you can better manage your pages.
You might think that resizing images takes a lot of time, but that’s not the case if you use AutoRetouch’s crop tool, which lets you crop your pictures automatically using AI or to a specific aspect ratio. Use the crop tool to save time and step up your social media game.
How To Change the Size of Product Pictures for social media?
There are actually two parts to taking photos of products for social media: the image resolution and the image size.
You need to get these two properties right because people’s product photos must fit on their screens, whether on a phone or a computer. Product photos also need to load quickly so that people stay on your site after they see your pictures.
But image resolution and image size are two different things that must be changed separately.
Image Dimensions for Social Networks
Each social media platform has rules about how images should be formatted. So does each type of ad on social media. But image requirements are the same on all social media sites.
This is mainly because social media platforms set the size requirements for images based on how well they fit in their user interfaces. And their user interfaces are mostly the same.
Even though the sizes are similar, you need to make different images for each social media site you use. If not, it’s like trying to fit an oval peg into a round hole: it sort of fits, but not really.
Photo-Resizing Tool
The image editor that comes with the iPhone and many other smartphones is pretty good, but it gives you little control over the details of your photos. Because of this, the best way to resize product photos is with tools that can do more. So, you can set the exact size of the image and change its resolution if you need to.
You don’t need something as powerful (or as expensive) as Photoshop to resize your images and change their resolution. A simple image resizer you can find online will do.
AutoRetouch
With AutoRetouch, you can edit and resize images right in your browser. It is an image editor with a lot of power and can easily change the size of product images. But if you want to try out other ways to edit photos, this image resizer gives you a lot of options for making creative images.
Conclusion
Most people understand how to use social media. It’s natural to think that promoting products and advertising on social media should be easy, and that makes it even more frustrating when things don’t look the way they should. By ensuring your product photos for social media are the right size, you can avoid that frustration and get the most out of your time on social media.
