Media Cheat Sheet is a searchable directory of image, video and advertising specifications for 25 social, publishing and advertising platforms. Ronalds Vilciņš, an advertiser and developer, built it to replace scattered bookmarks, outdated PDFs and repetitive searches with one practical reference.
No sign-ups. Clear sources. Direct answers you can share with a client, designer or teammate.
What You Can Do
- Browse by platform: Open a focused page for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and other platforms.
- Filter specifications: Narrow results by organic or advertising use, format and aspect ratio.
- Search directly: Find a platform, placement, format, dimension or ratio from the homepage.
- Copy and share: Copy a specification or send a direct link to the relevant card.
- Download templates: Start with an SVG canvas at the listed dimensions, including a safe zone when one is available.
- Check the evidence: Follow the source attached to a card and see when the specification was last verified.
Who It Is For
Media Cheat Sheet is designed for designers preparing production files, marketers writing creative briefs, creators publishing across several platforms and agencies coordinating work with clients.
How Specifications Are Maintained
Official platform documentation is used whenever it directly supports the specification shown on a card. A card marked Official reflects a documented platform requirement; Recommended identifies practical production guidance rather than a mandatory platform limit.
Platforms change their products without a universal schedule. Verification dates show when a source was last checked, but they do not guarantee that a platform has not changed since then. If you find a mismatch, use the contact page to report it.
How the Site Is Funded
Media Cheat Sheet uses privacy-friendly, cookie-free Ahrefs Web Analytics to understand aggregate site usage and may display Google AdSense advertising on substantial content pages. Advertising does not determine which platforms, formats or recommendations are included.
Ads are intended to remain separate from filters, navigation, downloads and copy controls so the directory stays practical to use.
