Why exact dimensions matter for social media
Every social platform displays images at specific aspect ratios and resamples anything that does not match. If you post a landscape photo to Instagram without cropping, the platform fills the missing area with white or crops from the center — you have no control over what gets cut. Providing the exact target dimensions prevents resampling artifacts and lets you choose the focal point.
This tool generates crops at the canonical recommended dimensions for each platform. The focus-point sliders let you choose what part of the image stays in frame when the source aspect ratio differs from the target. The preview updates in real time as you adjust. When you are satisfied, download exports a lossless PNG at the exact target resolution.
Everything runs in your browser using the HTML Canvas API. No images are uploaded, and there is no file size limit.
Frequently asked questions
Which social media sizes are supported?
Presets cover the major platforms: Instagram (square 1080x1080, portrait 1080x1350, landscape 1080x566), Twitter/X (post 1600x900, profile 400x400), LinkedIn (post 1200x627, banner 1584x396), YouTube (thumbnail 1280x720), and Facebook (post 1200x630). Exact dimensions match each platform's recommended specs.
How does the focus point control work?
The horizontal and vertical sliders set the focal point within the source image. The crop is centered on that point. Moving the horizontal slider left or right shifts the visible area; the vertical slider does the same on the Y axis. This lets you control which part of a wide photo stays in frame when cropping to a taller aspect ratio, and vice versa.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Cropping runs entirely in your browser using the HTML Canvas API. Nothing leaves your device. The preview and download are both generated locally.
What format is the downloaded crop?
Downloads are PNG. PNG is lossless and is universally accepted by social media upload forms. If you need a smaller file for upload, compress the PNG to WebP or JPEG first using the image compression tool.
Can I crop to a custom size?
Currently the tool only supports the preset dimensions listed by platform. If you need a custom aspect ratio or pixel size, use the crop tool in your photo editor of choice and then compress the result here.
