Social Media Profile and Cover Images
Social profiles are often the first place people check you out, and the profile and cover images set the tone instantly. Getting them right keeps you recognisable across every platform.
Each network uses different image sizes and crops, so a one-size-fits-all approach rarely looks good everywhere.
Designing for Each Platform
Profile images are usually shown as small circles or squares, so they need a simple, bold mark. Cover images are wider and can carry a message, but key content must avoid the areas different apps crop or overlap.
Because each network changes its layout from time to time, we keep the source files so covers can be re-exported quickly when a platform alters its dimensions.
Keeping It Consistent
- Use the same profile mark across all networks.
- Match colours and style to your wider brand.
- Refresh covers for campaigns without losing identity.
- Keep important text clear of crop zones.
| Image | Shape | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | Circle or square | Use a simple mark |
| Cover | Wide banner | Keep text central |
| Shared post | Square or 16:9 | Match brand style |
