Uploading an Image

Step 1: Find or create an image you wish to feature in your social media campaign. Minimum image size: 360px x 360px.

For optimal appearance, resize your image to the dimensions shown below for each social media platform. Please note that Facebook crops your image to the minimum size of 360px x 360px for a square image, or the recommended size below for a larger rectangular image.

Facebook – 900px x 470px
Twitter – 1024px x 512px
LinkedIn – 700px x 400px

Resizeimage.net is a handy tool for resizing your image to the correct dimensions.

Tip: If you wish to use an image on multiple social media platforms, we recommended creating separate campaigns and sizing the image accordingly for each.
