You know those inconvenient tasks that always seem to creep up on you?
Maybe it’s an email reply you always find yourself sending or a URL you often visit but can never remember.
In instances like these, it’s beneficial to keep that information in a helpful place, create a template or bookmark it so you can easily refer back to it later and save yourself a headache.
That’s why I wrote this blog post.
It seems I’m constantly trying to track down image sizes for social media, both for Elle & Company graphics and client design projects.
And surely you’ve found yourself hunting down image sizes for your social media accounts, too.
So I decided to make it easier on all of us by rounding up ideal image sizes for blog posts and social media and creating an infographic.
