As far as Social Media is concerned, The published content is as important as the image that accompanies it. Images on social networks visually define who you are and what you want to convey to your followers. Therefore, it is essential that you choose them carefully and with affection and, above all, that You optimize them based on the social network where you publish them.
A very common failure is that images published on social networks appear pixelated, considering that Facebook and Twitter always compress the images (always try to upload them in png). To help you in this task we have updated the Recommended sizes that your images should have on the different social networks.
