| Instagram, Facebook | Story | 1080x1920 | 9:16 | Commonly used; keep text away from the top and bottom |
| WordPress | Featured image | Theme dependent | - | ContentImage default: 1600x900. WordPress scales originals above 2560 px by default (docs) |
| Ghost | Feature image | Theme dependent | - | ContentImage default: 1600x900 |
Platforms change these values. Where a platform publishes a spec the row links to it; the other rows are commonly used sizes, not official ones. Confirm in the platform's own documentation before you build a template around it. WordPress and Ghost sizes depend on your theme: check what it crops to.

- Which single size is the safest?
- 1200x630 is the most widely used size for link previews and is what Facebook recommends. LinkedIn recommends 1200x627 at the same ratio. X shows large cards at roughly 2:1, so it may trim the edges.
