description: Check and resize images for social media platforms. Run scripts/check.js to validate any image against specs for Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat, and Threads — get a ranked match list with exact resize commands. Run scripts/resize.js to export a correctly-sized copy. Use when a user asks to validate image dimensions, resize an image for a platform, check if an image fits a spec, or prep assets for social media posting or ads.

# Social Media Image Sizes
|
||||
|
||||
Check and resize images for 9 platforms / 60+ specs. Scripts mirror the logic at [branding5.com/tools/social-media-cheat-sheet](https://www.branding5.com/tools/social-media-cheat-sheet).
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Run once after install:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd <skill-dir>
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Check an image
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
node scripts/check.js photo.jpg
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Outputs a ranked match list — perfect → close → usable → too small — with an inline `node scripts/resize.js` command for every non-perfect match.
|
||||
|
||||
Filter by platform or match level:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
node scripts/check.js photo.jpg --platform instagram
|
||||
node scripts/check.js photo.jpg --filter perfect
|
||||
node scripts/check.js photo.jpg --filter usable
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Platform slugs: `instagram` `facebook` `twitter` `linkedin` `tiktok` `youtube` `pinterest` `snapchat` `threads`
|
||||
|
||||
## Resize an image
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
node scripts/resize.js photo.jpg "Instagram Portrait Post"
|
||||
# → photo-instagram-portrait-post.jpg (1080×1350 px)
|
||||
|
||||
node scripts/resize.js photo.jpg "YouTube Custom Thumbnail"
|
||||
# → photo-youtube-custom-thumbnail.jpg (1280×720 px)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Default fit is **cover** (center-crop). Use `--fit contain` to letterbox instead:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
node scripts/resize.js photo.jpg "LinkedIn Background Photo" --fit contain --bg f0f0f0
|
||||
node scripts/resize.js photo.jpg "Instagram Portrait Post" --out ./exports/ig.jpg
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
List every available spec name:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
node scripts/resize.js photo.jpg --list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run `check.js` to see what a given image already matches
|
||||
2. Copy the suggested `resize.js` command from the output
|
||||
3. Run it — the output file is saved alongside the original by default
|
||||
|
||||
## Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
- **Sharp requires a native binary.** On first `npm install`, it downloads a prebuilt binary for your platform. If install fails behind a proxy, set `SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=1` and retry.
|
||||
- **All slides in an Instagram carousel must share the same aspect ratio.** The first image sets the ratio for the whole carousel — check all slides, not just the first.
|
||||
- **Facebook cover photo has two safe zones.** Desktop shows 820×312; mobile crops to 640×360. Keep key content in the center 640×312.
|
||||
- **YouTube banner safe area is much smaller than the file.** The spec is 2560×1440 but only the center 1546×423 is guaranteed visible on all devices. check.js flags the full size; keep critical content in the safe area.
|
||||
- **`--fit cover` center-crops.** If the subject isn't centered, use `--out` to save, then manually crop, or use an image editor before running resize.
