Tuesday Tip: Social Media Image Sizes

Did you know that every single social media channel has different requirements for image sizes? As part of your content marketing strategy, you should be creating content that is best suited for specific social media channels, anyway. Make sure you take the extra step and create the image at the correct image size before using it. It is very important that your visual content is optimized!

I have curated a few resources that provide the details on image sizes and requirements for each of the social media sites, with sizes for most frequently used tools: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, tumblr, and Google +
