The person in charge of this initiative is Peter Assentorp, a Danish designer who raised this project in January 2019 as a parallel activity to his work, offering it free of charge.

Also, the author of the site was pleased by the good reception that his project has had, of which he recently published the third update of his collection. If the demand on the portal continues to increase, more services could be added to the platform, he also commented.
The creator of this collection, like many of us who work in the generation of this type of publication, ended up tired of looking for these measurements one by one in different Internet portals, especially due to the amount of time that this task consumes. Inspired by that sentiment, he raised this platform in order to make the first stage of creating a graphic piece easier, becoming a reference portal to make inquiries about the sizes of the digital publications with the greatest circulation on the web. .
As an additional service to its consultation portal, Social Sizes offers a newsletter via email, through which they announce updates that affect the sizes of graphic publications published on the site. They also offer a monthly newsletter with tips for designers.
