Crop or Fit?
Crop fills the whole frame and cuts off whatever does not fit. It is best for photos where the subject sits in the middle. Fit keeps the entire image visible and fills the empty space with a blurred copy of the photo or a solid colour. Use it for screenshots, artwork, text graphics and panoramas you do not want to cut.
Good to Know
Platforms change their recommendations from time to time, and they re-compress everything you upload. Upload at exactly the recommended size so the platform does not have to scale your image. Keep important text away from the edges, because profile grids and previews often trim them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best image size for social media?
There is no single size. A 1080 px wide portrait (1080 × 1350 or 1080 × 1440) works best on Instagram, 1200 × 630 for link previews on Facebook and LinkedIn, 1600 × 900 for X, and 1080 × 1920 for Stories, Reels and TikTok.
How do I resize a photo without cropping it?
Choose Fit mode. The whole image is kept and the empty space is filled with a blurred version of the photo or a colour you pick.
Will the quality drop after resizing?
Downsizing to the recommended size keeps images sharp. Enlarging small images cannot add detail, so start from the largest original you have.
Should I use JPG or PNG?
JPG for photos, as files are smaller. PNG for graphics with text, logos or flat colours, where it keeps edges crisp.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser, so your images are never uploaded anywhere.
