Frequently Asked Questions

Should every platform use the same image size?

No. Reuse the concept, but resize and crop for each placement so text and focal points are not cut off.

When should I compress social graphics?

Compress after resizing and cropping. That avoids wasting file size on pixels that will not be used.

Do I need to upload files to create social media graphics quickly?

For tools that process files or pasted content, this workflow favors in-browser processing where possible so drafts and source files do not need to be sent to the app server.
