Орієнтовний час читання: 2 хвилин
It is important to consider the size of social media images, because images smaller than the recommended size "stretch" and become blurry, and larger images can be compressed in a software way and also look worse than in the original. If the pictures are different from the recommended proportions, it may be cropped in the wrong place.
If you do not want to dive into the subtleties at all, remember one size: 1024 x 512 px. Most often, such a picture will be displayed correctly. Or you can use services that will make the picture the right size for you.
Next: a table with the most important parameters of the main social networks and comments with illustrations from each network.
