Meme sizes: a practical cheat sheet

The template is square, but every platform crops differently. This page lists the export size that keeps both captions readable, and the safe area to stay inside when you post.

Square is the default

Every FunnyHub template is designed at 1080 × 1080 px. That square is accepted by Instagram feed, Facebook feed, LinkedIn, X, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp and Telegram, and it is the only size where the outer border of the artwork is guaranteed to survive.

If you only ever export one size, export the native 1080 square. It looks correct everywhere, even when a platform letterboxes it.

Per-platform numbers

PlatformExport sizeNotes
Instagram feed1080 × 1080Square keeps both captions inside the frame
Instagram Stories / Reels1080 × 1920The square artwork sits centred; do not stretch it
X (Twitter)1200 × 675Landscape crop; keep captions in the middle band
LinkedIn feed1200 × 627Square still works; wide crops the outer border
Facebook feed1200 × 630Same caution as LinkedIn
WhatsApp / Telegram1080 × 1080Under 2 MB previews inline more reliably
Slack / Discord1080 × 1080Square reads best in a narrow message column
Presentations1600 × 900Use the editor preview to check the caption position

The safe area rule

Keep both caption lines inside the middle 80 per cent of the canvas. Platforms crop differently, and a line that touches the edge on the square version will lose words in a landscape crop.

If a caption is longer than 24 characters, it is already at risk on X and LinkedIn. Shorten the sentence rather than reducing the font size: a smaller font is harder to read at thumbnail size, which is where most memes are actually seen.

File size and format

PNG is the right format for still memes: it is lossless and keeps the flat geometric artwork crisp. GIF is for motion. A 720 px GIF targets roughly 2 MB, which is the practical ceiling for inline previews in most chat apps.

If a GIF is rejected by an upload form, export a PNG and post that instead. A still meme with a strong caption usually outperforms a heavy animation that never autoplays.

Short answers

What size should a meme be?

1080 × 1080 px for feeds and chat, 1200 × 675 for X, 1080 × 1920 for Stories. The square export works everywhere.

Why are my captions cut off on X?

A landscape crop removes the top and bottom of a square. Keep both lines inside the middle 80 per cent, or export at 1200 × 675.

Try it with a template

Every template below opens with two captions already filled in. Edit both lines, then export a PNG or a GIF. Nothing is uploaded.
