We’ve seen how your posts on social media need to have image content, but to get the most engagement the images need to be sized for the appropriate social media platform, otherwise you’ll get cropping which looks particularly bad (see example below).

Twitter Dimensions

1500 x 500.

I’d suggest re-sizing your images to each platform as appropriate (as in these examples).
