About resizing images for social media
Every platform — Instagram post, Instagram story, LinkedIn banner, YouTube thumbnail — wants a slightly different exact pixel size, and uploading the wrong dimensions usually means the platform crops or squishes your image itself, often awkwardly. This tool resizes a photo to the exact size for a platform you pick, cropping intelligently to fit rather than stretching.
It scales the image to cover the target dimensions and crops any overflow, using canvas operations, so nothing gets squashed out of proportion — the same "scale to cover, then crop" approach a design tool uses. Everything runs in your browser, with presets for the most common platform sizes.
Supported files
Accepts JPG, PNG, WebP and other common images. Produces the image resized to your chosen platform's exact dimensions.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser on a canvas — the image is never uploaded.

Social Media Image Resizer — frequently asked questions
Will it stretch or distort my photo?+
No. It crops to match the target's aspect ratio first, centered on the image, then scales — so nothing gets squished.
Which platforms are covered?+
Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest and TikTok, with the exact current dimensions each one recommends.
Can I control what gets cropped out?+
Not yet — it always crops centered. If the important part of your photo is off-center, crop it roughly first with Crop Image.
Is there a free way to resize a photo for Instagram or LinkedIn?+
Yes — this tool crops and resizes for the platform entirely in your browser, free and with nothing uploaded.
Do you upload my files to a server?+
No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.
Is there a file size limit?+
There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
