Tips for Sharp Social Media Images

• Always start with the highest resolution original — resizing down is always better than up
• Use PNG for screenshots and graphics with text (sharper edges than JPG)
• Use JPG for photos (smaller file size, sufficient quality at 80%+)
• Add 10-15% padding on sides for Instagram posts — avoid edge cropping in different layouts
• Test on mobile: most social media views are on phones, not desktop
