What is the ideal photo size for each social network
When using each of the multiple social networks that exist, there are usually not many problems if we turn directly to their native applications. These are designed to directly adapt the images that can be generated with them to the exact format according to the type of publication.
That is, if you are going to upload a photo to Instagram, the application only crops the image to make it square or 4: 3, it also does the same with videos, stories, reels, etc. And like Instagram, the same with the rest of platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, etc.
On a few, very few occasions, there is usually some kind of problem with the dimensions, aspect ratio, etc.. And when there are, it is when the content has been generated in a third-party application. But we must admit that on many occasions that is the optimal way to generate content for social networks: doing it is an external application where you have more control, creative options, etc.
