Social Media Template Design

Your social media presence is where most people first interact with your brand. Whether you’re attracting clients or simply engaging with followers, this is where you’re going to make a lasting impression. That’s why using branded social media templates is so important — they help ensure your content is consistent and on-brand, no matter the platform.

Choosing the right platform and sizes for your social media templates

Each social media platform has its own format, so it’s key to design your content to fit. By creating templates for specific platforms, you can keep everything looking aligned and professional. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Instagram: Portrait posts (1080x1350px) [Grid view is 1012x1340px] and vertical stories (1080x1920px)
  • Facebook: Rectangular posts (1200x630px), square posts (1080x1080px) and cover photos (820x312px)
  • LinkedIn: Horizontal posts (1200x627px) and article images (744x400px)
  • Pinterest: Vertical pins (1000x1500px)

 

Tailoring your templates to the sizes that work best for each platform saves you time and makes your content stands out.

Streamline your content: don't reinvent the wheel

Social media doesn’t have to mean constantly starting from scratch. With branded Canva templates, you can streamline your content process. Instead of rethinking your design every time, simply swap in new text, images, and rotate between a variety of designs. This saves you from design burnout and allows you to focus on what matters — your message.

The best part? Branded templates keep everything looking consistent across all platforms, so your content feels cohesive without extra effort.

Canva templates: Stay organised and consistent

Canva gives you the flexibility to create your own content whenever you need it, but having a designer set up your templates ensures everything stays aligned with your brand identity. When your templates are organised and branded, it eliminates the guesswork and keeps your design process efficient. As your designer, I set up your brand system in Canva — colours, fonts, logos, and any custom brand graphics — so everything you need is just a few clicks away. This makes it easy for you to create new content that’s always on-brand and consistent across all your social media channels.

Bringing brands to life with social media templates

The work samples displayed here reflect how I’ve used branded social media templates to support my clients’ businesses. For example, Pipsqueak Services and Vanessa Barrington were part of larger branding projects where the social media templates were a key deliverable. This helped them hit the ground running with their new brand identity, ensuring consistent messaging and visuals across all their social media channels.

In other cases, I’ve been hired specifically to design custom social media templates, as seen with Two Cents Bookkeeping and Best Pegs. These clients sought templates to boost their online presence, streamline content creation, and build a cohesive look and feel on their platforms.
