Resize an image for Instagram without cropping
Instagram keeps a photo at its full resolution only when its aspect ratio is between 1.91:1 and 3:4. Anything outside that range is cropped. At the full width of 1080 pixels, that means a height between 566 and 1440 pixels, according to Instagram's help page on image resolution.
Choose Without cropping and the whole photo is placed inside the size you picked, with a blurred copy of the photo, white or black filling the empty space. A tall phone photo becomes a 1080 × 1440 portrait post and a wide panorama a 1080 × 566 landscape post, with nothing cut off.
Instagram post sizes in pixels
Square post: 1080 × 1080. Portrait post (3:4): 1080 × 1440. Landscape post (1.91:1): 1080 × 566. Instagram says photos wider than 1080 pixels are sized down to 1080 and photos narrower than 320 pixels are enlarged, so uploading at exactly 1080 wide gives you the most control over how the result looks.
YouTube banner size for all devices
YouTube Help recommends a 2560 × 1440 pixel banner, especially for TV, with a minimum upload size of 2048 × 1152 pixels at a 16:9 aspect ratio. The file must be 6 MB or smaller.
The catch is that phones and computers only show a strip from the middle. YouTube gives a safe area of 1235 × 338 pixels at the minimum size; text and logos inside it are visible on every device. The preview draws this safe area on your banner (scaled to 2560 × 1440), so you can drag the photo until the important part sits inside it.
Facebook profile picture and cover photo size
Facebook's help page for Page profile pictures says to use 320 × 320 pixels for the best quality, and that the picture is cropped to a circle. The preview darkens the corners so you can see what the circle keeps.
For the cover photo, the same page says it loads fastest as an sRGB JPG that is 851 pixels wide, 315 pixels tall and under 100 kilobytes. This tool makes the 851 × 315 JPG and lowers the quality only as much as needed to stay under 100 KB.
Crop to fill: drag to choose what stays
When you'd rather fill the frame, choose Crop to fill. Drag the preview to move the photo and use Zoom to get closer. The download matches the preview exactly.
If your photo has fewer pixels than the size you picked, it has to be enlarged and may look soft, and the tool warns you. A bigger original always gives a sharper result.

Your photos stay on your device
The photo is resized on your own device, inside this browser tab, like all of our free online tools. Nothing is uploaded, and there's no sign-up or watermark.
