It is important to keep in mind the guidelines for social media images, because images smaller than the recommended size “stretch” and become blurry, and larger images can be compressed programmatically and also look worse than in the original.

If the picture is different from the recommended proportions, then it may be cropped in the wrong place.

In order not to keep all sizes in your head, use services that will help you quickly get a picture of the desired format.
