One Editor for Every Platform
Presets for every platform
Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Google Ads, and more — all built in. Or enter any custom size. No hunting for the right dimensions before you can start.
Full layered editor
Background, text blocks with font and style controls, image and logo layers you can move, resize, and rotate. A layer tree lets you reorder, lock, or hide anything.
Live preview, auto-saved
Design with an instant live preview and export high-quality when ready. Work is saved automatically in your browser — switch tools or refresh without losing a thing.
One campaign, every size
Set up at the largest dimension, then duplicate and resize. Text and logo layers scale proportionally and stay sharp — background photos don't, so keep those as a base layer.
Keep text legible on every feed
Type shrinks in the feed, so size for the smallest view: keep headlines above roughly 60px, leave breathing room around edges, and favor high contrast between text and background. Export PNG for flat colors and sharp text, JPG only for photo-heavy designs. A common mistake is placing words near the crop edges where platforms trim them.
Platform Dimensions Reference
Instagram Post (Square)
1080 × 1080
Default feed format. Works in grid and feed views without cropping.
Instagram Portrait Post
1080 × 1350
Takes up more screen real estate than square — higher chance of stopping the scroll.
Instagram Story / Reel
1080 × 1920
Full-screen vertical. Keep key content in the middle 60% — top and bottom get UI overlays.
YouTube Thumbnail
1280 × 720
Standard 16:9. Bold readable text and a clear focal point — thumbnails display at ~200px wide in search.
YouTube Channel Art
2560 × 1440
Only the center 1546×423 shows on all devices. Design within that safe zone.
Facebook Cover
820 × 312
Mobile crops to 640×360 — keep key content within the center 640px.
Facebook Post
1200 × 630
Link preview images use this size. Works as a standalone post image too.
X / Twitter Header
1500 × 500
Profile photo clips the lower-left corner. Keep branding to the right half.
X / Twitter Post
1200 × 675
16:9. Twitter crops previews to this ratio — design to fill it or add white space.
LinkedIn Banner
1584 × 396
Wide and short. Profile photo overlaps lower-left — keep text centered or right-aligned.
LinkedIn Post
1200 × 627
Slightly wider than 16:9. Displays full-width in the feed without cropping.
TikTok Video Cover
1080 × 1920
Full-screen vertical. Bottom 20% covered by caption and buttons — keep main content higher.
Pinterest Pin
1000 × 1500
2:3 ratio. Taller pins take up more feed space. Avoid text-heavy designs — Pinterest compresses aggressively.
Google Leaderboard Ad
728 × 90
Very little room. Headline + logo only — no supporting copy.
Google Medium Rectangle
300 × 250
Most common ad unit. Works embedded in content and sidebars.
Google Large Rectangle
336 × 280
Slightly more space than 300×250. Headline + CTA + logo works well.
Google Half Page Ad
300 × 600
Premium tall unit. Room for a proper visual — treat it like a mini poster.
Google Billboard Ad
970 × 250
Wide banner above content. High visibility but very limited vertical space.
How to Make a Social Media Banner
Pick your size
Open the Social Banners tool and choose a preset size for your platform, or enter a custom width and height. The canvas resizes instantly.
Set a background
Choose a solid color, a linear or radial gradient, or one of the preset textured backgrounds. Tune the colors to match your brand.
Add text and images
Add text layers and type directly on the canvas, then pick fonts, sizes, and styles. Drop in images or logos and drag the handles to resize and rotate.
Arrange and export
Reorder layers in the layer tree to control stacking, then download a free low-resolution preview or export the full-resolution banner in high quality.
What You Can Design
Promo Banners
Announce sales, launches, and events with bold text over a branded background.
Feed Posts
Create square and portrait posts sized exactly for each social feed.
Video Covers
Build thumbnails and channel art that make people click.
Profile Headers
Design cover and header images that fit every platform perfectly.

What people use it for
The jobs the editor was built around — and what it does differently on each one.
Colourways you can revisit
Every edit is a layer, not a bake. When the brand shifts, reopen the file and change the colour rather than rebuilding the variant from the original.
Cutouts with awkward edges
AI background removal that keeps hair, foliage and soft shadows instead of stamping a hard outline around them. The output is a transparent PNG, ready to place.
No export, edit, re-import loop
The Framer plugin runs on the canvas you are already working in, so a recolour or a cutout does not mean a round trip through a second application.
Ten options in the time one used to take
Recolour once and step through the alternatives, so a client review can look at the whole range instead of the one version there was time to make.
Brand colours matched exactly
Pick a colour straight off an existing asset and get the hex, rather than eyeballing it against a screenshot and hoping it is close enough.
Free to preview, priced per export
Previewing is unlimited and costs nothing. A credit is spent only when you download a full-resolution file, so exploring an idea is never the expensive part.
