FABLS

Guides · Sizes 2026

Profile and cover sizes,in one place.

One table per platform: the pixels for the profile picture, the cover and the post picture, and the character limits for every text.

Where the numbers come from

Two sources,
marked as such.

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, Pinterest, Threads and the LinkedIn profile are the sizes and limits in FABLS's profile specification, as the platforms published them in October 2026. The LinkedIn Page, YouTube and Google Business Profile are the platforms' own guidance, and are marked so. Platforms change their numbers, which is why this page is dated.

Plain about it: if a platform has changed a number since October 2026, the platform is right and this page is behind. Check its help before you upload something you spent time on.

Questions

Quick answers.

Why is the profile picture a circle?

Most platforms show the profile picture in a circle, so the sizes above are squares with the logo kept inside the middle.

Why is the cover cut differently on a phone?

Phones and computers crop a cover differently. Keep the words in the middle: 60% of the width on Facebook and LinkedIn, 70% on X.

Can FABLS draw these pictures?

For the platforms it connects, yes: the profile kit draws the profile picture, the cover, the highlight and board covers at these sizes from your colours, logo and name, one by one or as one ZIP.

What if a platform changes a size?

Then the platform's help is right and this page is behind. Each platform's guide names the steps; its help has the current numbers.

Nine guides.
One per platform.

Each one is a short list of steps, the numbers you will be asked for and an honest word on what FABLS does there.

Facebook Page Instagram TikTok X LinkedIn Pinterest Threads YouTube Google Business Profile

Draw the pictures once.
At every size.

FABLS's profile kit draws the profile picture and the cover at these sizes from your colours, logo and name, for the platforms FABLS connects. In the app: Channels, then Set up a profile.
