Crop to fill covers the frame and trims the rest. Fit whole image keeps all of the picture and fills the space left over with a colour you choose. Neither one squashes the photo to make it fit.

Social Media Image Resizer
Crop a photo to the exact size a platform expects, from an Instagram square to a YouTube thumbnail. Framing happens on your device, so nothing is uploaded.

Choose a platform preset such as Instagram square or YouTube thumbnail, or enter your own width and height. Choose Crop to fill or Fit whole image, then drag the photo or use Zoom to frame it.

The right size for every platform, without squashing anyone.
Upload a photo at the wrong shape and the platform crops it for you, usually through someone's head. Choose the size first, decide what stays in frame, and post exactly what you saw.
Instagram posts, stories, and Reels, Facebook posts and covers, LinkedIn posts and banners, YouTube thumbnails, TikTok, and X, with the pixel sizes shown beside each one. Or type your own width and height.
Everything happens in this browser tab, so a photo of a passport, a contract, or a child never reaches a server. Closing the page clears it.
Frequently asked questions
What size should an Instagram post be?
A square post is 1080 × 1080 pixels, a portrait post is 1080 × 1350, and a story or Reel is 1080 × 1920. Portrait fills more of a phone screen than a square, which is why so many accounts use it. All three are in the preset list, along with the sizes for Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, and X.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The photo is read, cropped, and saved by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. There is no account, no watermark, and nothing is kept once you close the page.
What is the difference between Crop to fill and Fit whole image?
Crop to fill enlarges the photo until it covers the whole frame and trims off whatever hangs over the edges, which is what you want for a post or a thumbnail. Fit whole image shrinks the photo until all of it is visible and fills the space left over with the background colour, which is what you want when nothing may be cut off, such as a full product shot or a poster.
Will resizing make my photo blurry?
Cropping and shrinking a photo keeps it sharp. Stretching a small photo up to a much larger size cannot add detail that was never there, so start from the largest copy you have. Zooming in a long way has the same effect, because you are enlarging a smaller part of the picture.
Should I choose JPG, PNG, or WebP?
Choose JPG for photographs: every platform accepts it and the files are small. Choose PNG when the picture has text, a logo, or a transparent area that must stay crisp. Choose WebP for your own website, where it gives the smallest file. For JPG and WebP, the quality slider trades file size against detail, and 80 to 90 is hard to tell apart from the original.
Can I resize a whole batch of photos at once?
This tool does one photo at a time, because each one needs its own framing: the part that matters is rarely in the same place twice. If you only need a maximum width and no cropping, the Image Converter resizes up to 30 images in one go and downloads them as a zip.
