Six everyday crop-and-resize moments
- 01 for instagram
Square 1:1 or portrait 4:5 in two clicks
The two sizes that read cleanest in the IG grid: square (1080×1080) and tall portrait (1080×1350). Pick the preset, drag the photo to reposition the crop, hit download. The dimensions match exactly what IG's compressor expects, so nothing rescales server-side.
- 02 for stories
Vertical 9:16 for Stories and Reels
Stories and Reels live at 1080×1920. A landscape phone photo gets letterboxed into the tall canvas with paper-color bars top and bottom — so the photo stays whole, the frame fills the screen, and nothing critical hides behind the UI.
- 03 for pinterest
A pin that survives the feed
Pinterest favors 2:3 vertical pins (1000×1500). Wider pins get cropped in the home feed; taller pins get clipped. This preset hits the spec exactly. For mood-board pins where every inch of the photo matters, switch to letterbox with a paper background.
- 04 for x
An X header that doesn't cut your face off
X header banners are 1500×500 — a brutal aspect that crops most photos in half. Drag-to-reposition lets you nudge a portrait so the face sits in the visible band, not behind the avatar. Letterbox mode is the rescue if no crop works.
- 05 for youtube
A thumbnail at 1280×720
Every YouTube creator needs a 1280×720 thumbnail. Drop your shoot, pick the YT thumb preset, drag your subject to one side so the title type has room. Cropped at the right aspect, ready for upload — no rescaling needed.
- 06 for prints
Letterbox a square photo for a 4×6 print
Most home printers expect 4×6 (1200×1800 portrait, 1800×1200 landscape). Square photos crop badly there. Letterbox mode with a paper background turns any square into a print-friendly rectangle without losing a millimeter of the photo.
Frequently asked
Does the photo upload anywhere? +
No. The crop runs entirely on a canvas in your browser tab. Your photo never touches our servers — we don't run an image pipeline at all. Open DevTools → Network and watch: nothing leaves your device.
What's the difference between Crop and Letterbox? +
Crop fills the target frame completely — the photo gets scaled up until it covers the whole canvas, then trimmed to fit. Letterbox does the opposite: the whole photo stays visible, with paper-color (or transparent) bars on whichever side the aspect doesn't match.
Are the output dimensions exact? +
Yes, and we check. Every preset is exported and measured with an image tool as part of testing: Story comes back 1080×1920, Pin 1000×1500, X header 1500×500, YouTube thumbnail 1280×720 — to the pixel, in both Crop and Letterbox mode. Custom mode takes any size from 50px to 8000px on either side.
JPG, WebP, or PNG? +
Pick whichever you like — the docket under the preview shows the real file size for the format you chose, so you can switch and watch the number move. JPG is the safe default at 92% quality. WebP is usually the smallest. PNG is lossless and much larger. Choosing a transparent letterbox forces PNG, because JPG has no alpha channel to hold the transparency.
How do I move the crop window? +
In Crop mode, drag the photo on the canvas — the frame stays put and the photo slides underneath. On a phone, dragging moves the crop instead of scrolling the page. If you would rather use the keyboard, click the preview and nudge with the arrow keys, or hold Shift for bigger steps. The photo always fills the frame; you cannot drag a blank edge into view.
Will my photo get blurry if it's small? +
If it would, the tool says so before you save. Drop a 320×178 photo into a Story frame and a note appears naming the factor — 10.8× here — plus which dimension ran out and a one-click alternative at the largest size the photo can fill sharply. Enlarging invents pixels; no tool can avoid that, so the honest thing is to show you the number and let you decide.
Why do my custom-size inputs cap at 8000? +
Most browsers struggle with canvases above 8192×8192 due to memory limits. Capping at 8000 keeps the export reliable across desktops. For larger output, use a desktop tool with no canvas ceiling.
