Social Media Tools

The social media tools resize and prepare images to the exact dimensions each platform and placement expects — posts, stories, reels, covers, and banners. They crop and fit images to the right aspect ratio in your browser, so you can post something that fills the frame instead of being awkwardly cropped.

What this category covers

This category covers per-platform image sizing for social networks: the specific dimensions for feeds, stories, thumbnails, covers, and headers across the major platforms. The tools are not affiliated with any platform and reflect commonly used sizes.

Common use cases

Sizing an image to fill an Instagram story at 1080×1920
Making a YouTube thumbnail at the expected 1280×720
Preparing a LinkedIn banner without awkward cropping
Fitting a photo to a platform’s feed aspect ratio
Producing a header image at the correct header dimensions

Best practices

Start from the highest-resolution source you have, since enlarging a small image softens it.
Keep the important subject near the centre so platform cropping does not cut it off.
Check the current recommended size on the platform itself, as dimensions occasionally change.
Export at the exact target dimensions rather than letting the platform resize for you.

Frequently asked questions

No. They are independent utilities that reflect commonly used dimensions for each platform and placement.

No. Resizing happens in your browser, so the images stay on your device.

Each placement has a fixed aspect ratio. If your source has a different shape, part of it is cropped to fit. Centring the subject helps.

The tools reflect widely used sizes, but platforms sometimes change them. Confirm the latest recommendation on the platform if precision matters.
