Threads Image Sizes — Feed, Profile & Link Preview Dimensions
Threads by Meta uses image dimensions similar to Instagram but optimized for its text-first feed format. Using the correct sizes ensures your images display sharp and take up maximum space in the timeline.
All Threads Dimensions
Profile Photo
- 320 x 320 — Synced from Instagram, displayed as circle
- Shows next to every post in the feed
Feed Image (Portrait)
- 1080 x 1350 — 4:5 aspect ratio (recommended)
- Takes up maximum vertical space in the feed
- Best for photos and visual content
Feed Image (Square)
- 1080 x 1080 — 1:1 aspect ratio
- Standard square format, works well for most content
Link Preview
- 1200 x 628 — Open Graph image for shared links
- Appears when posting a URL in a thread
- Set via og:image meta tag on your website
Threads Image Optimization Tips
- Use portrait (4:5) for maximum impact: Like Instagram, portrait images take up more screen real estate in the Threads feed.
- Profile photo syncs from Instagram: Your Threads profile photo comes from your linked Instagram account — update it there to change it on both platforms.
- Up to 10 images per post: Threads supports carousel posts with up to 10 images, all sharing the same aspect ratio within the post.
- Export at 1080px wide: This matches the display resolution — uploading larger images may trigger unnecessary compression.
- Link previews use og:image: To control how links appear on Threads, set the Open Graph image meta tag on your website to 1200x628.
