Instagram compresses images on upload. For best feed quality, upload portrait images at 1080×1350px — this is the largest format Instagram displays in the feed and fills the most vertical space, which increases engagement. Always use JPEG at 90+ quality or PNG for graphics with sharp edges.

YouTube channel banners are one of the trickiest assets to design because they are displayed at dramatically different sizes and crops on TV (the full 2560×1440px), desktop (cropped to approximately 2560×423px), and mobile (the small circular channel icon). YouTube provides a template showing the safe zones — always design within the central safe area to ensure your key content is visible everywhere.

Pinterest is a visually driven platform where tall, portrait-format pins perform best. The recommended 2:3 ratio (1000×1500px) fills more vertical screen space in the Pinterest feed, which increases click-through rates compared to square or landscape pins. For text overlay on pins, keep text in the middle third of the image to avoid the URL overlay at the bottom.
