General rules that apply everywhere
- Upload at least the size listed. Platforms scale down well but scaling up looks soft.
- Keep text and faces away from the edges: apps place buttons, captions and profile photos on top.
- Use JPG for photos and PNG for logos or images with small text.
- Phones are most of the audience, so tall formats (4:5 and 9:16) take up more of the screen.
