Why do social platforms require different image sizes?

Each platform has its own display surface — a square Instagram feed, a wide Twitter banner, a tall Story. Uploading the wrong dimensions forces the platform to crop or letterbox your image, often cutting out important content and reducing visual quality. Using exact platform dimensions ensures your image displays as intended.

What happens if I upload the wrong size to Instagram or Twitter?

Platforms auto-crop or compress images that do not match their recommended dimensions. Instagram may center-crop a landscape photo for a square feed post, cutting off the sides. Twitter may add gray bars around a too-tall image. Using correct dimensions avoids these automatic adjustments.

Does resizing affect image quality?

Scaling down (making an image smaller) is generally lossless in terms of perceived quality. The JPEG/WebP quality slider lets you control compression. For transparent images (logos, icons), PNG output preserves all transparency without lossy artifacts.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All resizing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.

Can I download all sizes at once?

Yes. After generating, click "Download all as ZIP" to get a single ZIP file containing every resized image, named with the platform, preset, and dimensions (e.g. instagram-feed-square-1080x1080.jpg).

Why platform dimensions matter

Instagram: The feed supports three aspect ratios — 1:1 (square), 4:5 (portrait), and 1.91:1 (landscape). Using a different ratio triggers automatic cropping. Stories and Reels require a 9:16 vertical format (1080×1920).

Twitter/X: Post images display best at 1600×900 (16:9). Profile photos are cropped to a circle at 400×400, and headers display at 1500×500.

LinkedIn: Post images at 1200×627 match the platform's preview card format exactly. Using a non-standard ratio forces LinkedIn to apply letterboxing.

Open Graph: The 1200×630 OG image is what appears when your URL is shared on any platform — Facebook, Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp. Getting this right matters for every link preview.
