For header images, use CropRatio at 3:1 first to frame your composition, then resize to 1500×500. For avatars, center your subject since some instances display them as circles.
Download and upload to your Mastodon instance via Preferences > Profile. Media attachments are uploaded directly in the compose window when creating a new post.

Use Batch Resize for batch resizing with social media presets, or Crop & Ratio to crop to the exact aspect ratio first.
The recommended Mastodon avatar size is 400×400 px. Different Mastodon instances may display avatars as circles or rounded squares depending on their theme. Upload a square image with the subject centered to look good in both display styles.
The recommended Mastodon header (banner) size is 1500×500 px (3:1 ratio). This is the same ratio as Twitter headers. Keep important content centered since mobile apps may crop the edges. Maximum file size is typically 2 MB.
Mastodon supports media attachments up to 1920×1080 px with a maximum file size of 16 MB for images. Supported formats include JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. Images larger than the limit are automatically downscaled by the server.
Mastodon custom emojis must be at least 50×50 px. The maximum file size is 50 KB. PNG format with transparency is recommended. Custom emojis are added by instance administrators and can be used by all members of that instance.
