Social media works like the good old book. The title page graphic attracts attention, then the story determines whether you are bored or captivated. So the presentation has to be right. 

This is even more true for social media, because the visual decides whether you win or lose. Not only does the visual idea and its implementation play a major role, but also the quality. It can only be displayed optimally if the image is generated in the right size. 

New call-to-action

That's why we have summarised all the important image sizes for you in compact form.
