The Complete Image Aspect Ratio Cheat Sheet
Every social platform, every device, every screen size — in one reference table.
Choosing the wrong aspect ratio is the single most common reason an image looks bad after upload. Each platform crops differently, and what reads beautifully on a 16:9 desktop screen can look stretched or cut on a 9:16 phone story.
This cheat sheet is the reference we wish we'd had — the exact pixel dimensions for every place an image actually lives. Bookmark it, print it, share it.
