The only place where size matters… [Previous](https://www.missiondrive.io/blogs/little-missions/how-ubersuggest-can-be-uber-helpful-for-those-with-limited-seo-budgets) [Next](https://www.missiondrive.io/blogs/little-missions/why-ai-is-here-to-stay) Do you struggle figuring out which image dimensions to use for each social media platform? Well, we’ve got a sweet little guide for you. One minute you have the perfectly sized image, and the next you find it’s changed. It can be time consuming googling image sizes every time you want to create a post for each platform, especially with all the conflicting information and outdated guides. But don’t worry, Mission Drive has you covered. We’ve researched social media image dimensions for 2023 so far and created some new, exclusive guides using Canva’s [infographic tool](https://www.canva.com/design/DAFcs-q1xik/j-8l1TDfv144n-ScxtuVng/edit?utm_content=DAFcs-q1xik&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton), so you’ll never have to worry about getting the image size wrong again. And if you want some extra homework, why not check out [Hootsuite’s blog post](https://blog.hootsuite.com/social-media-image-sizes-guide/) for an even more in-depth guide on all social media platforms. - [Instagram](https://www.missiondrive.io/blogs/little-missions/social-media-images-the-only-place-where-size-matters#Instagram) - [LinkedIn](https://www.missiondrive.io/blogs/little-missions/social-media-images-the-only-place-where-size-matters#LinkedIn) - [Twitter](https://www.missiondrive.io/blogs/little-missions/social-media-images-the-only-place-where-size-matters#Twitter) - [Facebook](https://www.missiondrive.io/blogs/little-missions/social-media-images-the-only-place-where-size-matters#Facebook) The bottom line is that it’s important to get image sizes right.
