What size should a social media post be?

It depends on the platform and format. Instagram feed posts currently perform best at 1080 x 1350 px (4:5 portrait), while Stories and Reels use 1080 x 1920 px. Facebook and LinkedIn feed images typically use 1200 x 630/627 px. Always confirm against current platform specs, since they’re updated periodically.

Do carousels really outperform single images?

Based on Socialinsider’s Q2 2026 Instagram benchmarks, carousels averaged a 0.50% engagement rate versus 0.33% for static images — a meaningful gap. Different analytics providers report different absolute numbers depending on methodology, but nearly all recent industry benchmarks agree carousels outperform single images on engagement and saves.

What's the best free tool for designing social media posts?

Canva is generally the most beginner-friendly free option, with Adobe Express as a strong alternative with tighter Adobe ecosystem integration.

How many fonts should I use in a social media graphic?

Stick to two at most — one for headlines, one for body text. More than that tends to look cluttered and reduces legibility on mobile screens, where roughly 98% of your audience will see the post.

How do I keep my social media posts consistent?

Build a documented style guide with your brand colors (hex codes included), fonts, and logo placement rules, then create reusable templates for recurring content types. Consistency comes from a documented system, not fresh decisions every time.

Should I design posts manually or use a scheduler?

Design manually or with templates for quality control, but use a social media post scheduler to batch-publish. This keeps a consistent cadence without requiring daily manual posting.
