Size matters

Social Media image sizes

Those web designers make it look so easy, don’t they? Beautiful, glossy pics, the perfect size and ratio to neatly fit in with the text… but if you’ve ever posted your own blog or added a page, you’ll know it’s not as easy as it looks.

While content management systems (CMS) are becoming more and more intuitive, making sure images are the right size still employs a fairly old-school methodology. And, naturally, every CMS and campaign requires slightly different sizing. Just to make things complicated.

Picresize.com can easily (and freely) allow you to resize any images. Just upload your image, scroll down to “Step 2 – Resize your picture”, hit the “Custom” option in the drop-down menu and plug in your preferred pixels. Easy! Or there are many other, ready to take on your resizing needs.

To further uncomplicate things, consider this your handy pic size guide (all measurements are in pixels).
