Resize a photo for social posts and banners
Platforms crop whether you like it or not. Start from a frame that matches the post: square, portrait, story, landscape, or a LinkedIn banner. This tool cover-crops to the preset so faces stay in the middle as much as possible.

When to use this
Use presets when you care about the crop. A max-width resize keeps the whole photo; a 1080×1080 preset will cut the sides or top of a landscape shot.
After you post, Instagram and X will compress again. Exporting at the native size (1080 wide for feed) avoids an extra downscale on their side.
LinkedIn banners are very wide. A phone photo will lose a lot of top and bottom. Check that the subject is centered before you download.
How to do it
- Drop the photo.
- Pick a preset: Instagram post, portrait, story/Reel, X, or LinkedIn banner.
- Download the JPG. If a face got clipped, recrop in an editor. This tool only center-crops.
Tips
- Stories are 1080×1920. A landscape photo will keep a thin strip through the middle.
- Leave a little space around faces; apps add UI chrome on stories.
- If the file is still over an upload cap, run the fit-limit tool on the cropped result.

FAQ
- Can I choose which part is cropped?
- Not yet. The crop is centered. For a custom focal point, crop in Photos or Figma first, then drop the file here.
- Why does it still look soft on Instagram?
- The network recompresses. Export at the preset size and quality around 0.88; going to 1.0 rarely survives their encoder.
- Are files uploaded to a social scheduler?
- No. This page never talks to Instagram or LinkedIn.
