2400x1260: The High-Resolution Open Graph Image for Retina Social Sharing
2400x1260 is a 1.91:1 landscape format — exactly double the standard 1200x630 Open Graph image dimension in both width and height. This is the retina-ready OG image: the size you create when you want link previews on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, and iMessage to look razor-sharp on high-DPI screens instead of slightly soft or upscaled.
The Open Graph protocol (originally defined by Facebook) specifies that link preview images should be at least 1200x630 pixels. Most social platforms and messaging apps honor this as the standard. But "at least" does important work in that sentence. On a Retina MacBook (2x pixel density), a 1200x630 image displayed in a link preview that occupies 600x315 CSS pixels maps one image pixel to one device pixel — no retina benefit. A 2400x1260 image maps two image pixels to one device pixel, producing noticeably sharper text, cleaner edges on logos, and crisper detail in photographs. The difference is visible on every Apple laptop, most flagship Android phones, and an increasing share of Windows laptops with HiDPI displays.
Blog publishers and content marketers who invest in custom OG images — rather than letting platforms auto-generate a thumbnail from page content — use 2400x1260 as their production size. The workflow: design the OG image at 2400x1260 in Figma, Canva, or Photoshop, export as JPEG or PNG, then let the platform downscale as needed. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X all accept images larger than their minimum and handle the resize server-side. By providing the highest quality source, you guarantee sharp results regardless of how aggressively each platform compresses. See our guide on optimizing images for SEO for platform-specific OG image requirements.
SaaS companies, developer tools, and technical blogs have adopted 2400x1260 as a de facto standard for their og:image meta tags. When a product launch post or technical article gets shared on Hacker News, the link preview appears in hundreds of Slack workspaces and Twitter feeds within hours. A crisp, well-designed OG image at 2400x1260 carries the brand identity into every single one of those previews. A blurry, undersized, or poorly cropped preview undermines the professionalism of the content before anyone clicks through.
Discord and Slack embed previews are particularly sensitive to image quality because they render link cards at relatively large sizes in the chat interface. Discord displays OG images at up to 400 pixels wide in standard embeds — at 2x pixel density, that requires 800 source pixels for retina sharpness. 2400 pixels wide provides 3x coverage, ensuring the image looks perfect across all display densities and embed sizes.
At JPEG quality 85, a 2400x1260 image typically weighs 200-500 KB — small enough to serve quickly as a meta image, large enough to look sharp everywhere. For OG images with text overlays (article titles, brand names, author photos), PNG at 24-bit produces cleaner text edges at the cost of larger files (400 KB-1.2 MB). After resizing in the resize tool, run the output through compression to bring the file size below 300 KB — the sweet spot for fast social crawling and sharp display.
2400x1260 vs Similar Dimensions
| Dimension | Aspect Ratio | Common Use | File Size (JPEG q85) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2400x1260 | 1.91:1 | High-res OG image, retina social sharing | 200-500 KB | Retina-ready link previews, premium social cards |
| 1200x630 | 1.91:1 | Standard OG image (Facebook, LinkedIn minimum) | 80-200 KB | Maximum compatibility, fast crawling |
| 1200x628 | ~1.91:1 | LinkedIn-specific OG recommendation | 80-200 KB | LinkedIn link previews (2px shorter, functionally identical) |
| 1200x675 | 16:9 | Twitter/X summary large image card | 80-210 KB | Twitter/X link previews with full-width image |
| 2400x1350 | 16:9 | High-res Twitter/X card image | 210-520 KB | Retina Twitter/X cards, YouTube-style widescreen social |
Notes: 1200x630 and 1200x628 are functionally interchangeable — the 2-pixel height difference is imperceptible. The meaningful decision is between 1.91:1 (OG standard, optimized for Facebook/LinkedIn) and 16:9 (optimized for Twitter/X and video platforms). If you only create one OG image per page, 2400x1260 at 1.91:1 gives the best cross-platform coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need 2400x1260 or is 1200x630 enough?
1200x630 meets the Open Graph minimum and displays correctly everywhere. The upgrade to 2400x1260 matters most on retina/HiDPI screens, where the larger image produces visibly sharper text and edges. If your OG images contain text (article titles, brand names), the difference is noticeable. If they are purely photographic with no text overlay, the improvement is subtler. For brands investing in custom OG images, 2400x1260 is worth the marginal file size increase. For quick blog posts, 1200x630 is perfectly fine.
Will platforms downscale 2400x1260 automatically?
Yes. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Slack, Discord, and iMessage all resize OG images server-side to fit their display templates. Providing a larger image gives the platform more pixels to work with during its own compression, producing a higher-quality result. No platform penalizes you for providing a larger-than-minimum image — the og:image spec has no maximum size, though keeping files under 5 MB is practical to avoid slow crawling.
Should I use JPEG or PNG for OG images at this size?
If the image is photographic (product shots, landscapes, team photos), JPEG at quality 85-88 produces the best size-to-quality ratio — typically 200-400 KB at 2400x1260. If the image contains text overlays, logos, or flat-color design elements, PNG preserves sharper edges on those elements, though files will be 400 KB-1.2 MB. WebP is technically superior to both but not all social crawlers support it as an og:image format yet. Stick with JPEG or PNG for maximum compatibility. Compress afterward to optimize file size.
How do I set up the og:image meta tag for 2400x1260?
Add these meta tags to your page's `
`: ``, ``, ``. The width and height tags help platforms render the preview faster by knowing the aspect ratio before downloading the full image. Host the image on the same domain or a fast CDN — social crawlers timeout after 2-4 seconds.Can I crop a standard photo to 2400x1260?
The 1.91:1 ratio is slightly wider than 16:9 (1.78:1) and significantly wider than 4:3 (1.33:1) or 3:2 (1.5:1). Cropping a standard photo to 1.91:1 removes a noticeable amount from the top and bottom. For landscape photos, this usually works well — horizons and wide scenes suit the ultrawide crop. For portraits or tightly framed subjects, the crop may remove too much. Use the crop tool to preview the 1.91:1 frame on your image before committing, then resize to 2400x1260.
Does the file size of my OG image affect social sharing performance?
Indirectly, yes. When someone shares your link, the platform's crawler fetches the og:image URL. If the image takes more than 2-4 seconds to download (common with files over 2 MB on slower CDNs), the crawler may timeout and display no image or a generic placeholder. This dramatically reduces click-through rate. Keep 2400x1260 OG images under 500 KB — use compression to hit that target. For pages where sharing speed is critical (product launches, breaking news), consider pre-warming the platform's cache by sharing the link in a test post first.
How It Works
Drag and drop any image — JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and more are all supported.
The tool pre-fills the target dimensions (2400×1260 pixels). Choose fit mode: contain (preserve ratio), cover (fill and crop), or stretch (exact dimensions).
Your resized image is ready. Optionally compress or convert the format before downloading.
