# Why Accurate Social Media Image Dimensions Matter

Each major social platform applies aggressive compression algorithms and automatic cropping when you upload non-standard dimensions. Using the wrong aspect ratio can result in: - Crucial text headers and faces being cut off in feeds. - Blurry, low-resolution pixelation from improper downsampling. - Lower user engagement, click-through rate (CTR), and impressions.
