Social Media Image Sizer
Crop and resize one image for every major social platform in one click.
How to Use
- Drop your hero image into the input area.
- Pick the platforms and formats you need: Instagram (square, portrait, story, reel), X (header, post), Facebook (cover, post), LinkedIn (banner, post), YouTube (thumbnail, banner), TikTok, Pinterest, etc.
- Each preset center-crops to the platform-specific aspect ratio and resizes to recommended dimensions.
- Each preset downloads as a separate file — drop them straight into your scheduling tool.
- For the most flexibility, use a high-resolution source image (2400×2400 or larger).
- Re-run with different source images for different campaigns; presets stay current.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dimensions does each platform recommend?
<strong>Instagram:</strong> 1080×1080 square, 1080×1350 portrait, 1080×1920 story/reel. <strong>X (Twitter):</strong> 1500×500 header, 1200×675 post (16:9). <strong>Facebook:</strong> 820×312 cover, 1200×630 post. <strong>LinkedIn:</strong> 1584×396 banner, 1200×627 post. <strong>YouTube:</strong> 1280×720 thumbnail, 2560×1440 banner. <strong>Pinterest:</strong> 1000×1500 (2:3 vertical). These match each platform's current recommendations as of 2026.
How does the tool decide what to crop?
Center-crop is the default — the middle portion of the image is preserved at the platform's aspect ratio, edges are trimmed. For better results, prepare your source image with the most important content in the center. For face-aware or content-aware cropping (where the algorithm tries to preserve subjects), use a more advanced design tool.
Will my image still look good after the crop?
Depends on what's in the original. A landscape photo with content edge-to-edge will look fine in 16:9 but may lose corner detail in 1:1. A portrait with the subject centered crops well to most ratios. For best results across all platforms, design with the smallest aspect ratio (often 1:1 square) as the 'safe zone' and let other ratios extend outward.
Why are platform sizes always changing?
Each platform tweaks its image-display sizes occasionally to optimize for new device resolutions, layout changes, or design refreshes. The tool's presets are updated to match current recommendations but always check the platform's latest spec for highest-stakes content (paid ads, branded campaigns).
Should I use these for ad campaigns?
For organic posts, yes — these match the recommended dimensions. For paid ads, double-check Meta Ads Manager, X Ads, etc. — they sometimes have stricter specs (max file size, minimum dimensions, text-percentage rules) that go beyond simple aspect ratios.
Can I add a watermark or branding?
Not in this tool. Add the watermark first using Image Watermark, then resize for social. Or run the social sizer first and use Image Text Overlay on each platform-specific output.
