VK posts feel Facebook-adjacent—still re-crop for VKontakte chrome
VK (VKontakte) remains a major social network across Russia and neighboring markets: communities, music, and long posts mix in one feed. Wide cards near 1200×630 are a practical size many brands use for photo and link-style stills.
The ratio looks familiar if you ship Facebook or Open Graph images—but VK’s compression, community walls, and mobile chrome still differ. Blindly pasting a Facebook export without a live preview is a common soft-looking failure.
Profile covers on VK are a longer banner (practical ~1590×400). Avatars are squares shown as circles (practical 800×800). Keep posts, covers, and avatars as separate masters.
Square Instagram dumps letterbox awkwardly in a ~1.91:1 card. Prefer a dedicated wide crop with one clear subject and short on-image text.
Good vs weak crop
Same landscape card—edges and tiny type fail after compression or multi-image crop.

Design for VK communities and walls
Many brands post into communities (groups) as much as personal walls. Cards need to read in both contexts. One product or headline graphic beats a dense flyer.
- Prefer one subject in the safe center.
- Match brand mood to the cover without copying that crop.
- Test readability at phone size before a community push.
VK vs Facebook post habits
Both often use ~1200×630 share cards. That helps cross-market teams—but VK is not Facebook. Local audiences, community norms, and UI chrome deserve a fresh preview.
- Facebook post size — Often 1200 × 630
- VK cover — 1590 × 400 practical

JPG for photos; PNG for hard graphics. Prefer sRGB. Keep weight reasonable for mobile VK uploads.
