About 1200x628 pixels
A 1200x628 image is landscape, with an aspect ratio of about 1.91 to 1, and holds 0.75 megapixels. At 300 DPI it would print at about 4.0 x 2.1 inches (10.2 x 5.3 cm). As a JPEG it usually lands between 83KB and 166KB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.
Where 1200x628 is used
Used for large link cards on LinkedIn, X and Facebook. It is almost the same as the 1200 by 630 size and works in the same places.
- Keep key text and faces away from the edges, because apps crop and place buttons near them.
- Check the platform help page before you upload. Recommended sizes change from time to time.
- Export from your editor at exactly this size, so the platform does not recompress and blur the picture.
Crop to fill or fit inside?
Crop to fill always gives exactly 1200x628 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 1200x628, which can leave one side shorter. For a typical 4:3 phone photo, crop to fill removes about 30% of the picture. A 3:2 camera photo loses about 21%, a 16:9 screenshot about 7%, and a square image about 48%.
Quality and format
Check the result before you upload
Open the finished file and check three things: the picture measures 1200x628, the subject is not cut off, and the file is small enough for where you upload it. If a platform sets a size limit, run the result through the online compression tool or choose a limit such as 200KB.
A tip for this size
Keep text short and large so it stays readable when the card is small. Need another size? Try 1200x630, 1080x566, 1200x675, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my image not exactly 1200x628?
You are probably using Fit inside, which never crops. Switch to Crop to fill for exact dimensions.
How big will a 1200x628 file be?
As a JPEG, usually between 83KB and 166KB. Photos with lots of fine detail come out larger, and simple graphics smaller. Lower the quality for a smaller file.
Is 1200x628 the right size for shared link cards?
It is a widely used size for shared link cards, but platforms and agencies change their rules. Check the current guidelines before you upload.
Will a small photo look blurry at 1200x628?
If the original is smaller than this size, the tool has to enlarge it, and the result can look soft. Start from the largest version you have.
