Troubleshooting Blurry or Clipped Social Images

This page covers the most common quality issues after export and upload, plus fast fixes you can apply before publishing.

Problem: image looks blurry after upload

Likely causes

• source image resolution is below target platform dimensions
• aggressive compression settings before upload
• platform recompression due to oversized files

Fixes

• start from a source at or above the destination pixel size
• avoid very low JPG quality settings
• switch to PNG for text-heavy designs

Problem: text gets cut off in profile banners

Likely causes

• no safe-zone planning for mobile and desktop variations
• important copy placed near edges or overlap zones

Fixes

• use safe-zone overlays for LinkedIn and X header modes
• keep primary copy inside the central canvas region

Problem: carousel slides look inconsistent

Use one ratio for the entire carousel. Mixed dimensions can force a layout decision based on the first slide, clipping later slides.

Fast check before publishing: preview all exports on mobile and desktop surfaces where the post will actually appear.
