Why sizes still matter in 2026

Every platform crops, compresses and re-scales what you upload. Post a square where a portrait is expected and the algorithm shows a smaller slice of it; upload a banner at the wrong ratio and your face lands under the crop line. Matching the native dimensions means your image is shown in full, stays sharp, and is not re-compressed into mush.
