I love the brilliant colors of autumn!
Add some fall colors to your social media projects with HTBphotos ‘Fall Foliage‘ Series by John and Katharina Notarianni, available on Dreamstime.
Graphics, photos, and other visuals are a necessity when posting content on social media!
And with copyright concerns, it is best to either take photos with your cell phone, digital camera or even your iPad, or leverage the many reputable stock photography sources like Dreamstime, or design services like Canva. There are even high quality free stock photo sites like Unsplash.
The question is, now that you have the perfect image for your social media post, what size image displays correctly across multiple platforms? Is that even possible? Yes!
Square images are ideal for Facebook and Instagram posts. Square format also works well for LinkedIn posts – and can work for Twitter.
Instagram and Facebook photos: 1200 x 1200 pixels
Pinterest Pins (repurpose from Instagram)
All profile pictures* (allows cropping to circle format): 500 x 500
YouTube channel icon*: 800 x 800
As you can see the featured image at the top of this post also from HTBphotos ‘Fall Foliage’ Series, has been resized to 1200×630 pixels which work perfectly for WordPress blog posts as well as for several popular social media platforms that have a similar size requirement: Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
For specifics on all popular social media platforms, I recommend taking time to review Louise Myers’ Social Media Cheat Sheet.
Facebook: Tell More of Your Story
Instead of a cover photo, now you can use a video. It can be 20-90 seconds and should be at least 820 x 312 pixels.

HTBphotos‘ White Clouds in Blue Sky image is a best seller from John and Katharina Notarianni’s portfolio of stock photos featured exclusively on Dreamstime.
What makes a stock photo image popular? Here are some tips:
Images need plenty of “negative space” for the end user to add text, logos or other images.
Variations of the same shot, or a cropped photo, like the one above, may even sell better than the more detailed original photo.
Taking time to photoshop the original shot to increase dots per inch to represent print quality (300 dpi) and offering various resolutions from low to high quality also gives the end user choices for web or print use without extra work on their part.
Zoom in to “actual pixels” to scan for imperfections that can be easily fixed with photoshop, like dust or spots. Even the smallest issue may keep a buyer from buying the image, particularly if they plan to use it on a billboard where the image is blown up to maximum size.
Tagging the image with key words like blue sky, white clouds make it easy to find. Search engines like Google and Bing are more likely to bring up your image when tagged with key words.
Congratulations John and Katharina Notarianni. This photograph of a western tiger swallowtail has sold the most copies from their collection of photographs on Dreamstime.
