1200x628 vs 628x1200
628x1200 is the same two numbers swapped, and that makes it a different shape: 1:1.91 portrait instead of 1.91:1 landscape. Width is always written first, so 1200x628 is 1200 pixels wide and 628 tall, while 628x1200 is 628 wide and 1200 tall. As decimals that is 1.9108 against 0.5233. Cropping one to fill the other keeps only 27.4 percent of the picture, so the two are not interchangeable.
No platform size in this dataset is 628x1200: every use listed above is 1200 wide by 628 tall. If an export meant for one of them comes out as 628x1200, the two numbers were entered the wrong way round.
What the numbers mean
The pixel count is what the file stores. It is not the size the image appears at on a screen, and the two get confused constantly. A display measures its layout in CSS pixels, and most phones draw two or three physical pixels for every CSS pixel. That device pixel ratio is why an avatar that occupies 110 CSS pixels wants a file several times wider: on a 2x screen those 110 CSS pixels are 220 physical ones, and a 110 px file gets upscaled to fill them.
So 1200 by 628 is a statement about the file, not about how large it looks. Whether it is enough depends on the largest surface it has to fill and on the pixel ratio of the screen filling it, which is why the platform pages above carry a minimum width as well as a recommended size.
