How it works

  1. Drop your picture into the box above.
  2. Choose the shape you need, then drag the picture so the important part is inside the frame.
  3. Use the zoom for a tighter crop, then download.

Which shape for what

  • 1:1 square: Instagram and profile pictures.
  • 4:5 portrait: Instagram posts that use more of the feed.
  • 9:16 tall: stories, Reels, TikTok, Shorts.
  • 16:9 wide: YouTube thumbnails, slides, wallpapers.
  • 4:3: presentations and many cameras.
  • 35:45: passport photos.

Crop first, then shrink

Cropping away what you do not need makes the file smaller at the same quality. After cropping, use the resizer for exact pixels or the compressor for a file size.
