# Avola Media: our recommendations for social media formats > Recommended sizes, aspect ratios, safe zones and subtitle placement for social media posts on Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and Threads, with the exact pixel positions of the areas each app covers or crops.

The Instagram profile grid is 3:4. A 3:4 (1080 x 1440) image fills it exactly, where 4:5 (1080 x 1350) lost about 34 pixels on each side. Every carousel slide follows the first, so the carousel changes too. The safe zone edge is gone, because nothing is cropped in the grid anymore. LinkedIn stays at 4:5 (1080 x 1350).
