Photo Dimensions in Pixels: Common Sizes for Social, ID & Print

4 min readUpdated July 27, 2026

Pixel dimensions are just the width × height of an image in pixels — a 1080×1080 photo is 1080 pixels wide and 1080 tall. Most upload forms and platforms expect an exact size, so here's a handy reference of the most common ones, plus how to resize any photo to match.

Social media photo sizes (pixels)

  1. 1Instagram post (square) — 1080 × 1080 (1:1)
  2. 2Instagram portrait — 1080 × 1350 (4:5)
  3. 3Instagram story / Reel / TikTok — 1080 × 1920 (9:16)
  4. 4Facebook cover — 820 × 312 · profile picture — 170 × 170
  5. 5X (Twitter) header — 1500 × 500 · in-post image — 1200 × 675
  6. 6YouTube thumbnail — 1280 × 720 · channel art — 2560 × 1440
  7. 7LinkedIn cover — 1584 × 396 · profile photo — 400 × 400

ID & passport photo sizes (at 300 DPI)

  1. 1US passport — 2 × 2 in → 600 × 600 px
  2. 2UK / EU / Schengen — 35 × 45 mm → about 413 × 531 px
  3. 3India — 35 × 45 mm → about 413 × 531 px (or 51 × 51 mm → 600 × 600)
  4. 4Canada — 50 × 70 mm → about 591 × 827 px
  5. 5UAE Emirates ID — 35 × 45 mm → about 413 × 531 px

Web & print sizes (pixels)

  2. 2Favicon source — 512 × 512 (square)
  3. 34 × 6 in photo print at 300 DPI — 1200 × 1800
  4. 4A4 page at 300 DPI — 2480 × 3508

How to resize a photo to an exact size

  1. 1Open the Resize Image tool and add your photo.
  2. 2Enter the exact width and height in pixels from the list above (toggle the aspect-ratio lock depending on whether you need an exact fit or a proportional shrink).
  3. 3Download — and optionally convert to WebP or JPG in the same place to cut the file size.

A note on DPI

On a screen, only the pixel dimensions matter. DPI (dots per inch) only comes into play for printing — the physical size in inches equals pixels ÷ DPI. That's why a passport photo needs both a pixel size and a DPI (usually 300, sometimes 600). Everything here is computed on your device; your photo is never uploaded.
