Tips for all networks
- Use images with at least 72 dpi (ideally 150-300 dpi for higher quality).
- JPG format for photos; PNG for graphics with text or logos.
- Keep important content inside the “safe area” so it doesn’t get cut off.
- For videos, good lighting and clear audio make a big difference.
