Social Media Resize

Resizes one image to the exact pixel size of a chosen social platform format, such as 1080x1080 for an Instagram post. The image is scaled to cover the target and centre-cropped, so the output always matches the preset size.

About this tool

Updated

Ten preset sizes, one crop method

You pick one of ten platform formats and the tool outputs exactly that width and height by scaling to cover and cropping from the centre.

The presets on the page are: • Instagram Post 1080x1080 and Instagram Story 1080x1920 • YouTube Thumbnail 1280x720 and YouTube Banner 2560x1440 • Facebook Post 1200x630 and Facebook Cover 820x312 • LinkedIn Banner 1584x396 • X/Twitter Header 1500x500 • Pinterest Pin 1000x1500 • TikTok Cover 1080x1920 There is no custom size box here and no padding or blur-background option.

What happens to a photo that is the wrong shape

A landscape photo turned into a square or a tall story loses its left and right sides; nothing is stretched or letterboxed.

The image is enlarged or reduced until both dimensions are at least as big as the target, and the excess is trimmed evenly. Very wide targets such as a 1584x396 LinkedIn banner keep only a thin horizontal band of a normal photo, so a portrait shot will lose most of its height. One file is processed per run. The output keeps JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or BMP as they were; other inputs are saved as PNG.

Good uses and better alternatives

Use it for fast, centred crops to a known size; use another tool when you need control over the crop or a fully visible image.

Good fits: turning a 4000 px camera photo into an Instagram post, or making a 1280x720 YouTube thumbnail from a screenshot that is already 16:9. If the subject is off-centre, first cut the region you want with Image Crop. If you need the whole picture visible inside a frame, Canvas Resize adds space around it, and Aspect Ratio Converter is the option for changing shape by ratio. Individual pages such as Instagram Post Resize are shortcuts to the same operation.

Limits to expect

Upscaling a small image will look soft, and platforms may still recompress the file you upload.

Enlarging a small source cannot add detail. Text near the edges of the original can be cut off by the centre crop. Output quality for JPEG and WebP is fixed rather than adjustable, and the pixel sizes are common starting points rather than a promise about each platform's current rules.

FAQ

Does it stretch my picture to fit?

No. It scales the image up or down until it fills the whole target rectangle, then trims the overflow equally from both sides. Proportions stay correct, but part of the picture is cut off whenever the source and target shapes differ.

Can I choose where to crop?

No. The crop is always centred and there is no drag-to-reposition control. If the subject sits near an edge, crop the image yourself first with Image Crop, then run it through this tool.

Are the sizes guaranteed to be what each platform wants today?

The pixel sizes are the ones listed on the page, but platforms change their recommendations and also crop or compress uploads themselves. Treat the presets as common starting sizes and check the platform's current guidance if exact placement matters.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Resizing happens in your browser, and the file is not sent to a server for this job.

What file type do I get back?

The same type as the file you put in when it is JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or BMP; anything else, including HEIC, is saved as PNG. JPEG and WebP outputs use a fixed quality; there is no quality control on this page.
