It's very important that the images you share look great for every user, so always follow the minimum standard image resolution when making a new post.

For example, what should be your image size for Instagram? Since 2015, Instagram's default image size is 1080px by 1080px to keep up with Retina and other high-resolution displays available on smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

By the way, if you're shooting straight from your smartphone camera don't bother, the image should be already good enough. :)
