RECOMMENDED SOCIAL SHARING IMAGE SIZE AND RATIO:


Each social network has their own requirements re size and ratio of the social share image, we do however recommend the following size and ratio to achieve the best results over all platforms: 1600px by 900px providing a 16:9 width-to-height ratio. This will work in Facebook Posts, Ads and Messenger etc. Feel free to play around with different dimensions in case you're looking to share in platforms that need different sizing.
