Valorant card sizes for social media

Square, story and portrait cover almost everything you will post. Start with one of these three unless you are making a banner, a cover or a wallpaper.

Stories, Reels, Shorts and TikTok all want a tall frame, and the 9:16 preset is built for it. One card at 9:16 works for a small collection. A big collection gets unreadable, which is what slides mode is for: it splits the sorted collection across several 9:16 frames, each one a page you can actually read on a phone.

Export all the slides as a zip when they are done, then either post them in order or drop them into an editor as a sequence.

A square is the safe feed post: it survives cropping on every platform and reads well in a grid. It is also the best size for a collection that is wide rather than deep, since the four columns of tiles sit comfortably in a square.

4:5 is the upgrade when you want the post to take up more vertical room in a feed. It holds more tiles than a square at the same readability, so it is the better pick for a large collection that needs to stay in one image.

Chat apps shrink anything large, so a square PNG at a sensible size is the one that survives. If the file needs to be small, switch to JPG or WEBP and lower the quality a notch; skin art compresses well enough that you will barely notice.

For a server showcase where people will actually stop and read, keep tier icons on and consider turning skin names off. Fewer labels survive the shrink.

The remaining presets are for places that are not a feed. WALLPAPER 16:9 at 1920 x 1080 is a desktop wallpaper, and WALLPAPER MOBILE 9:16 at 540 x 960 matches a phone screen. LANDSCAPE 16:9 at 1280 x 720 and WIDE 2:1 at 1200 x 600 are general-purpose headers.

The thin shapes are for site chrome: TWITCH PANEL is 7:1, YOUTUBE BANNER is 6:1, LINKEDIN BANNER is 4:1 and BANNER is 3:1. They are long and short, so they suit a title strip or a header rather than a full collection. Expect to lower the number of skins if the layout looks stretched.

FB COVER and TWITTER POST are both 16:9 at 1280 x 720, which also works as a general video thumbnail size.

The size is only half the choice. PNG is the sharpest and has no visible compression, so it is the right default for a card with fine text or detailed skin art. JPG and WEBP trade a little quality for a much smaller file, which matters when a chat app has an upload limit.

Quality only applies to JPG and WEBP. Leave it high for skin art, because gradients and glow effects are exactly what compression ruins first. If a card has to survive being viewed small, choose the bigger preset and the sharper format rather than shrinking a compressed image.

If you are not sure, export the same card in two sizes and compare them where you plan to post. It takes a minute and settles the question faster than guessing.
