STEP BY STEP

5 steps

  1. Open Resize image

    Free and in your browser, with no photo uploads.

    Open Resize image

  2. Choose “Social media”

    Under “How to resize”, choose “Social media” and, under “Preset size”, the network and use: Instagram 4:5 portrait, Story, YouTube thumbnail, Facebook cover…

  3. Crop or fit

    If your photo has another shape, “Crop edges” fills the format and “Fit with background” keeps it whole on a colour.

  4. Download

    Press “Resize image” and download each photo or all of them in a ZIP, up to 10 at once.

  5. Want to pick the framing yourself?

    Crop image lets you move the crop by hand with ratios such as 1:1, 4:5 or 9:16.

TIPS

To get it right

Tip 1

In Stories and Reels, keep about 250 px clear at the top and bottom: that is where the name and buttons go.

Tip 2

YouTube banner: 2560 × 1440, but every device only shows the central strip (about 1546 × 423 px): put your name and logo there.

Tip 3

Networks change their sizes without notice: these are the usual ones, reviewed in September 2026 without being able to open the official help centres from our automated review; confirm them there before a campaign.

Social media image sizes: common questions

What size does each network use?

Instagram: 1080 × 1350 (4:5 portrait), 1080 × 1080 (square) and 1080 × 1920 (Stories and Reels). TikTok: 1080 × 1920. YouTube: thumbnail 1280 × 720 and banner 2560 × 1440. Facebook: cover 851 × 315 and post 1200 × 630.

And X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Pinterest?

X: header 1500 × 500 and post 1600 × 900. LinkedIn: background 1584 × 396 and post 1200 × 627. WhatsApp: status 1080 × 1920 and profile 500 × 500. Pinterest: portrait pin 1000 × 1500 (2:3).

Does resizing lose quality?

Making a photo smaller keeps it sharp; making it bigger adds no detail. Always start from the largest original you have and, if it is heavy, shrink it with Compress image.
