Because every website and mobile app has their own layout, it’s a job of social media sites to crop uploaded images according to their design/layout. Whether you’re creating a profile on Facebook, YouTube, Google+ or Twitter, a display picture and cover photo is must on your profile. Whenever you upload a new image on your profile, it will automatically or manually crop for the fit resolution.
As a common user, I never care about profile picture dimensions, but as a designer, I will love to know what are the dimensions of social media images. If you have some designing skills, you can easily merge any image in any resolution.
