WhatsApp/Telegram Post Size 2026: Official Measurements and Complete Dimension Guide
Why Creative Size Matters on WhatsApp and Telegram
In WhatsApp groups and Telegram channels, people scan quickly. The image needs to load fast, show the product clearly and make the price easy to read on a small screen. If the banner is cropped, heavy or cluttered, the offer loses attention before the click.

The questions our community asks the most
These are the questions that come up the most in our groups and support channels about this topic. Each one is answered straight to the point.
How do I use Canva to create offer artwork?
Start from a post (1080x1080) or story (1080x1920) template, swap in the product photo and make price and discount the biggest element. Save it as a template to reuse daily by changing only product and price.
Where do I find ready-made Canva templates?
Searching for 'sale', 'offer' or 'black friday' returns hundreds of editable layouts. Pick two or three and standardise your group's colours so members recognise your offers instantly.
How do I edit video in CapCut?
Import the clips, cut to the rhythm of the speech, add auto captions and a soundtrack. Product videos convert best when the item is in use within the first three seconds and the price closes the video.
What image size should I use for posts and stories?
Square posts 1080x1080, vertical 1080x1350 and stories or Reels 1080x1920. On WhatsApp and Telegram, vertical images take up more screen and highlight the price better.
Do I need design skills to promote products?
No. Most group sales come from an official product photo, a clear price and an easy link. To standardise artwork without becoming a designer, DivulgaNinja generates the offer artwork from the product you picked.
Can I use official product photos in my artwork?
The images affiliate programmes provide exist exactly for that. Use the store's official material and write your own description — that is what sets your group apart.
