💡 Pro Tips

  • • Always use PNG for graphics with text, JPEG for photos
  • • Keep important content in the center (safe zone) for cropping
  • • Use 72-96 DPI for web, higher resolution files are compressed anyway
  • • Test your images on mobile before posting—most views are on phones
  • • Save templates at the recommended sizes for quick content creation
