Frequently Asked Questions
Why are correct image and video dimensions crucial for social media?
Using correct aspect ratios and dimensions prevents platforms from automatically cropping heads, cutting off text overlays, or introducing blurry compression artifacts.
What platforms are included in the size and dimension guide?

What is the ideal aspect ratio for Instagram Reels and TikTok videos?
The standard vertical aspect ratio for Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts is 9:16 with a recommended resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels.
