How we calculate this

Methodology and source handling

We compare dimensions, aspect ratio, area difference, and crop risk so the page answers which size fits the job.

Compare Sizes entries

Use this hub when two sizes look similar but behave differently in print, layout, upload, or cropping workflows. Each comparison focuses on dimensions, area, aspect ratio, and production setup.

Comparison A4 vs US Letter Compare A4 and US Letter paper sizes. A4 is 210 × 297 mm; US Letter is 8.5 × 11 in. See dimensions, pixels, area and print differences. Comparison Facebook Cover Photo vs LinkedIn Background Facebook Cover Photo vs LinkedIn Background comparison with dimensions, aspect ratio, area difference, and setup notes. Comparison Wattpad Cover vs Amazon KDP Cover Use Wattpad cover size for a vertical reading-platform cover. Use Amazon KDP cover dimensions for Kindle or print publishing, where eBook and paperback requirements are different. Comparison 4x6 vs 5x7 Photo Use 4x6 for standard snapshots and camera-friendly 2:3 files. Use 5x7 for a slightly larger gift print, frame, card insert, or portrait print, but expect more crop from many camera photos. Comparison 5x7 vs 8x10 Photo Use 5x7 for smaller framed prints and cards. Use 8x10 for wall, desk, portrait, and portfolio prints, but plan for a stronger crop because 8x10 uses a 4:5 ratio. Comparison A4 vs A5 Use A4 when you need a full document, form, worksheet, or letter-sized handout. Use A5 when you need a compact flyer, booklet page, insert, or handout that is about half the area of A4. Comparison YouTube Thumbnail vs YouTube Shorts Use a YouTube thumbnail for 16:9 video packaging and browse surfaces. Use YouTube Shorts size for vertical 9:16 short-form video; do not reuse one canvas without redesigning the crop. Comparison Social Media Cover Sizes Compared Compare common cover and banner sizes across Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Etsy, SoundCloud and Google Forms before resizing one design. Comparison Discord Invite Background vs Reddit Banner Discord invite backgrounds are full 16:9 images. Reddit community banners are very short strips, so artwork must be recomposed rather than cropped directly. Comparison Discord Server Banner vs Twitch Banner Discord server banners use a 16:9 canvas, while Twitch profile banners are a wider 5:2 strip. Rebuild text placement instead of simply stretching one into the other. Comparison Discord Server Icon vs YouTube Profile Picture Discord server icons and YouTube profile pictures are both square source graphics, but YouTube benefits from a larger 800 px source while Discord can use a smaller practical square. Comparison eBay Listing Photo vs Etsy Listing Image eBay and Etsy listing images both work well as square product photos, but eBay policy focuses on a minimum longest side while Etsy pages commonly use large square listing images. Comparison Instagram Post vs Pinterest Pin Use Instagram post size for feed-first 4:5 artwork. Use Pinterest Pin size for taller 2:3 discovery artwork that needs more vertical breathing room. Comparison Instagram Post vs Story Size Use Instagram post size for feed and carousel graphics. Use Instagram Story size for full-screen vertical creative that must avoid top and bottom app UI. Comparison Instagram Reel vs TikTok Video Instagram Reels and TikTok videos share a 1080 x 1920 px 9:16 production canvas, but captions, buttons, profile crops, and cover behavior differ. Comparison Instagram Story vs Facebook Story Instagram Stories and Facebook Stories both use a 1080 x 1920 px vertical 9:16 canvas, so one design can often be reused if the text stays clear of app UI overlays. Comparison KDP 6x9 Cover vs 5x8 Cover A 6 x 9 KDP cover is larger and common for trade paperbacks. A 5 x 8 cover is more compact and changes both cover height and front/back cover width. Comparison KDP eBook Cover vs Paperback Cover Use a fixed 1600 x 2560 px image for a KDP eBook cover. Use calculated paperback cover dimensions for print because page count and spine width change the full wraparound cover. Comparison Reddit Avatar vs Discord Server Icon Reddit avatars and Discord server icons are square source images that should keep the mark centered for circular and small-size display. Comparison Reddit Banner vs Discord Server Banner Reddit community banners are very short horizontal strips. Discord server banners are 16:9 images, so a Discord banner needs a separate Reddit crop or redesign. Comparison Shopify Banner vs Etsy Shop Banner Shopify banners are responsive and often start from a 16:9 source. Etsy shop banners are much wider and shorter, so do not crop one directly from the other without redesigning. Comparison Shopify Product Image vs eBay Listing Photo Shopify product images and eBay listing photos both work well as square product photos, but Shopify favors 2048 px square while eBay recommends 1600 px on the longest side. Comparison Shopify Product Image vs Etsy Listing Image Shopify product images commonly use a 2048 x 2048 px square target. Etsy listing images often use larger square product images such as 2000 x 2000 px. Comparison Snapchat Ad vs TikTok In-Feed Ad Snapchat ads and TikTok In-Feed Ads both rely on vertical mobile creative, but Snapchat is full-screen Snap-first while TikTok has feed captions and action controls. Comparison Snapchat Filter vs Instagram Story Snapchat filter planning can use a taller mobile canvas, while Instagram Stories use a 1080 x 1920 px 9:16 frame. Keep overlay artwork flexible before adapting. Comparison Snapchat Story Ad vs Instagram Story Ad Snapchat Story Ads and Instagram Story-style ads both use full-screen 9:16 creative, but each platform has different UI and CTA overlays. Comparison TikTok Ad vs Meta Reel Ad TikTok In-Feed Ads and Meta Reel Ads both fit 9:16 mobile creative, but each ad product has its own UI overlays, caption behavior, and file requirements. Comparison TikTok Video vs YouTube Short TikTok videos and YouTube Shorts both use vertical 1080 x 1920 px production frames, but each platform has different UI overlays and discovery surfaces. Comparison Twitch Banner vs YouTube Channel Banner Twitch profile banners use a 1200 x 480 px 5:2 shape. YouTube channel banners use a much larger 2560 x 1440 px safe-area layout. Comparison Twitch Offline Screen vs YouTube Thumbnail Twitch offline screens and YouTube thumbnails both use wide 16:9 artwork, but thumbnails need stronger small-size readability while offline screens can carry more schedule or brand information. Comparison Twitch Profile Picture vs Discord Avatar Twitch profile pictures and Discord avatar-style images are both square source files that need centered subjects for circular and small-size display. Comparison X Card Image vs Facebook Link Preview X card images and Facebook link previews use very similar wide preview ratios, but exact crops can differ by card surface and feed layout. Comparison X Header vs LinkedIn Background X headers are 1500 x 500 px and use a 3:1 banner shape. LinkedIn profile backgrounds are 1584 x 396 px and much wider at 4:1. Comparison X Post Image vs LinkedIn Post Image X post images and LinkedIn post images are both near 1.91:1 link-preview shapes, so the same artwork can often be adapted with minor edge checks.
