With over 1.25 billion registered users, WeChat, the almighty Chinese super app, provides a unique platform for brands to connect with the masses. (Learn more about WeChat from our Ultimate Guide) Here we take a look at image size specifically for distribution on WeChat.
In this article, we are covering the following image types:
- Profile picture size
- Article preview header size
- Preview thumbnail image size
- Article inline image size
Note: WeChat has lifted the upper size limit to 10MB to accommodate high resolution images. However, it doesn’t mean you should upload images with sizes bigger than necessary as it’ll slow down the loading speed of the article, hampering reading experience.
Profile Picture Size– 383 x 383
Article Preview Header Size– 900 x 383
The article preview header image spans the top of your account post and it’s the first thing the reader sees. Here’s your chance to be creative and make your article captivating.
Article Preview Thumbnail Image Size – 383 x 383
Article Inline Image Size– 400 x Any
Its image size displays at a length of 400 pixels, but higher resolution is also recommended.
How can we help
WeChat backend can help you crop images of any ratios into the suggested sizes above, but there seems to be a delay in updating the article preview header after you crop it differently in a short amount of time.
In KAWO backend, all the updates will be in real time and it can also show you what the cropped image looks like in article history, article search and shared article, as illustrated in the left column of the video.
