Make Files Easy to Share Make Files Easy to Find
Have an in-house server? Great!
Working with multiple vendors? Than cloud storage is the way to go!
- Easy long term storage.
- Easy to share via secure links (don’t worry about file size caps in email).
- Anyone can access via the web.
Mo’ Images + Mo’ People = Mo’ Problems
File names matter, folks.
Pick a nomenclature that you, your team, your vendors and anyone else understands.
What to include?
- Dimensions (e.g. 1200x628)
- Channel (e.g. Facebook, Display, etc.)
- Theme / Ad Flight (e.g. Holiday Ad Set 1)

Facebook has 5+ sizes.
Twitter 2+.
Bing (yes, that Bing) 4.
Display is at like, what, 20?!?!?
I got tired of looking things up.
So I made a #%@& list!
So. Many. Sizes. How the $#%@ Do You Keep Track?

Huddle up with your design team and discuss efficiencies.
- 1200x628 = Facebook, Yahoo, Bing
- Squares! 1080x1080 begat 600x600 begat 300x300 = Facebook, Instagram, Yahoo, Bing, display
- Keep a square logo handy, often 50x50 or 144x144
Work Smarter, Not Harder

Yes, you can repurpose sizes for multiple channels or placements.
1st, make sure they are appropriate in context to placement and device.
- Facebook Newsfeed vs. Right Placement
- Resizing a large rectangle to fit LinkedIn’s 180x110 size.
- Anything sized for mobile display.
One Size Fits Most; Optical Delusions
