Setting up or editing your social media channels is one of those essential but frustrating jobs – not only do you have to make sure the same details are correct for each platform, but each one has different image size and pixel requirements – hands up if you’ve spent a lot of time wrestling with your logo to make it fit for each different platform you use! We have, so we feel your pain!
Having also spent a lot of time muttering and typing “what size image does my <insert channel> logo need to be?” into Google, we’ve saved you the future effort and put it all below in one easy reference image for the most popular networks. You can thank us later (with a Like or a Follow if you so choose!)
Without further ado….

Having started out in this industry with about as much marketing knowledge as a gnat, I have worked my way up from tea-making trainee to Head of Search thanks largely to the staunch support of our director, Stuart, and a lot of late nights, strategy sessions and training. At work I am extroverted, creative and always on the Internet, but behind closed doors I’m happiest with my family, my dogs and a good book (usually accompanied with a good cup of tea!).
