Platform sizes at a glance
Instagram feed post: 1080x1080px (square) or 1080x1350px (portrait). Facebook post: 1200x630px. LinkedIn post: 1200x627px. Facebook cover: 820x312px. Camisual has presets for all of these so you never need to look up dimensions.
Step-by-step: Create a social media graphic
- 1
Choose your platform preset
Click "New Design" on your dashboard. In the workspace setup, select "Social Media" from the preset categories. Pick the platform and post type you need. The canvas opens at exactly the right size.

Build your background
Switch to Shape mode in the top mode switcher. Draw a full-canvas rectangle and apply your brand colour as the fill in the left Shape section. Alternatively, use a gradient fill for a more modern look.

Add your content image
Click "Add" then "Upload Image" to add a photo or product image. Resize and position it using the Select tool. Use the Image Editor (click "Edit Image" in the left panel) to adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation under the "Adjust" tab so the photo looks its best.
- 4
Add your message text
Click "Add" then "Add Text". Type your headline or message. In the left Text section, choose your brand font, size, weight, and colour. For Instagram graphics, keep text under 20 percent of the image area for best reach.

Add a logo or icon (optional)
If your logo is saved as a PNG, upload it via "Add" then "Upload Image". Position it in a corner. You can use the Image Editor BG tab to remove any white background from the logo to make it transparent.
- 6
Use the asset library for icons
In the left control panel, scroll to the "Library" section and click "Browse Assets". You can search over 200 million icons, vectors, and photos. Click any asset to place it on the canvas.
- 7
Export for each platform
Click "File" then "Export". Choose PNG for graphics with transparency or JPG for solid backgrounds. Download and post directly.
Keep a consistent brand
Save a "master template" design that just has your background, logo position, and font style set up. Duplicate it from the dashboard each time you need a new graphic. This keeps your visual identity consistent without starting from scratch every time.
Use Camisual's layer system to organise your designs. Lock your background layer (click the padlock icon on the layer) so you cannot accidentally move it while working on the content.
