# 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. These are Avola Media's own recommendations, not platform specifications.

Every page also exists as Markdown: add index.md to its address. All formats as JSON: https://guides.avola.dk/data/formats.json. Free to use, with a link to https://guides.avola.dk/. Last updated 13 November 2026.
