Demystifying Stock Photo Sizes for Social Media
Stock photo sizes for any social media post
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.
Stock photo sizes for any social media post
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!
Keep It Simple Strategy
Square images are ideal for Facebook and Instagram posts. Square format also works well for LinkedIn posts – and can work for Twitter.
Easy 1:1 ratio (square)
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
Best size for link posts
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.
Get noticed with a Video Cover
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.

What Makes A Website Great!
Is it time to update your business website?
Does your website inspire action? If the answer is Yes! then your website is doing it’s job.
If not, what can you do to make it better? Ask yourself:
Can anyone find your website?
- are you on the map, as they say? Can search engines find your website?
- does your domain name represent your brand?
Is it easy to use?
- is it pleasure to click around?
- does it look good on a mobile phone or tablet?
Does it present you and your business in a credible way?
- are there reviews or testimonials about you?
- does it list your credentials on the About web page?
Can the visitor easily buy or request your product or service?
- do you have an email opt-in request?
- do you have a contact form to request your service?
- do you link to a shop where it is easy to buy your product or service?
Is it current or out-dated?
- Does your website represent your current business focus?
- does the platform get updates or upgrades frequently enough to keep up with the changing internet landscape?
- can your website handle sudden increases in traffic?
If you answered NO! to any of the above questions, it might be time for an overhaul of your website.
Here are some steps you can take:
- Define the goal for your website – what do you want the visitor to learn, experience, buy etc.
- Streamline it so it is easy to use and content loads quickly
- Brand yourself. Evaluate whether you are consistently using your brand across all platforms – website, social media, email communications, etc.
- Make it mobile friendly – view it on your phone and tablet as well as on a laptop.

Self-Publishing Authors: Get help merging your CreateSpace and KDP Amazon publishing accounts
Here is an article from an indie author’s perspective about the impact of the recent merger of Amazon’s CreateSpace print-on-demand business with it’s KDP Kindle eBook business on self publishers that I recommend reading.
If you are a self publishing author with CreateSpace you will have gotten instructions to merge your CreateSpace account with a KDP Amazon account. In general this process is straight forward. However, if you published your print books in a CreateSpace account and have a separate KDP account with a different email address, since both of these services are actually Amazon businesses the recent merger of CreateSpace with KDP may have inadvertently put you in the position of having your print version and your eBook version in two different KDP accounts. In order to link your print-on-demand book and your Kindle eBook of the same title, they need to be in the same account (i.e., viewable in the same KDP dashboard).
For help merging your publishing accounts, work with KDP’s help desk, or contact info@healingtimebooks.com. We make it an easy and pain free process.
Do you have a book you want to self publish but don’t know where to start? In addition to being a full service publisher, Healing Time Books specializes in working with self publishing authors to help them utilize technology to publish their works… Fill out HTB’s Contact Form to get started today.
“Writing a book can be an arduous process and one that is done thousands of times over with a fair amount of help available. But, when it comes to editing, preparing and packaging your book there was little help I could find. Then Katharina appeared, she was a dream come true. Here was someone who knew the ins and outs of publishing, she did it for her own books and was willing to help me with my several books. Her talent to help in the choice of everything from sentence structure, color of ink, to the cover page for the book was phenomenal. I would not consider giving my manuscripts to anyone else. She’s the best!!!”
