It’s no secret that social media is one of the most powerful tools for increasing brand awareness, and visual content plays a crucial role in this.
There are many strategies and best practices you can use to craft the perfect social media visual. The starting point, however, should always be getting the resolutions right as they may vary per platform and even post type. An image size perfect for one platform may be cropped or look too small on another.
