Optimizing Social Media Video Cover Images
Social media producers create custom cover images for video posts across platforms. Each platform displays video covers differently, requiring unique crops and dimensions for optimal visual impact.
Workflow
- Design the video cover image with compelling visuals and text overlay
- Use the Image Resizer for platform-specific sizes: 1280x720 (YouTube), 1080x1350 (Instagram Reels), 1200x675 (Twitter)
- Use the Image Cropper to adjust text and focal point placement for each format
- Use the Image Compressor to meet platform upload limits
- Convert to JPEG for broad compatibility
- Upload custom covers to each video on each platform
