Uploading an image at the wrong size means awkward cropping, blurry upscaling or text cut off on mobile. Here are the dimensions to use. Platforms adjust their layouts occasionally, so treat these as the current recommended sizes and keep important content away from the edges.

Making the sizes from one photo
Cropping the same photo five times by hand is tedious. NoUpload's Crop & Resize tool has every size in this article built in: tick the ones you need, frame each crop, and download them together without uploading the original. The LinkedIn banner, Instagram and YouTube thumbnail pages open with those sizes preselected, and the YouTube thumbnail is kept under the 2 MB limit automatically.
Exported images have their metadata stripped too, so your social posts don't carry the location of where the photo was taken.
