What this social media image resizer does
Social Media Image Resizer offers a set of widely used dimensions: square posts, portrait posts, stories, profile pictures, YouTube thumbnails, LinkedIn banners and Open Graph previews. It scales the image to cover the target and crops from the centre.
Platforms change their recommended sizes from time to time, so treat these presets as practical defaults and check the current guidance for a paid campaign. All resizing happens on a canvas in this tab.
Why use it
- Produce a batch of correctly shaped images from one source.
- Avoid stretched faces and awkward crops caused by non-proportional resizing.
- Keep profile pictures and banners consistent across platforms.
How to use it
- 1Choose an image.
- 2Select one or more presets.
- 3Generate the images; each is centre-cropped to fill the frame.
- 4Download the files you need.
