How do I resize an image for Instagram or another platform?

Upload the image to the image resize tool, pick the platform preset, such as the Instagram portrait post, and run it. The resized file is saved to your library.

Which platforms have size presets?

Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Threads, Bluesky. There are also presets for print sizes and web display banners, and you can type any custom width and height.

What is the difference between resize, smart crop and extend?

Resize scales the whole image. Smart crop cuts the image to a new shape and loses the edges. Extend with AI adds new picture around the image to reach a new shape and keeps everything you had.

How do I change the shape without cutting off my subject?

Use smart crop and anchor it to the subject, or set a focal point. If you cannot lose any of the picture, extend the canvas with AI.

How much does it cost?

Resize costs 1 credit, smart crop 1 credit and extending the canvas with AI 15 credits. The exact cost shows on the run button before you start.

Can I resize a video the same way?

Video has its own resize and portrait tools. This page covers images.

Do the sizes stay up to date?

The presets are the common sizes for each platform. Platforms change their recommendations from time to time, so check the current size for anything critical, such as a cover image that must not be cropped.

One image, one run per size.

The sizes are saved as presets, so you only choose the platform.

01
Upload the image
Start from the largest version you have. Shrinking a big image to a small slot looks clean, while stretching a small one does not.
02
Pick the platform size
The resize tool has one-click presets for each platform, such as an Instagram portrait post at 1080 x 1350, a Pinterest pin at 1000 x 1500 or a LinkedIn feed post at 1200 x 627. For any other size, type the width and height.
03
Choose how it fits
Resize scales the whole image. Smart crop cuts to the exact size around the part that matters. If the new shape is wider or taller than your image and you cannot lose the edges, extend the canvas with AI instead.
04
Run it and repeat for the next platform
Each run is one size. The results land in your library, so you can run the same image again for the next platform and keep them together.

What you control.

Three tools cover the three ways to fit an image to a new shape.

Platform presets: 47 presets in total: Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Threads, Bluesky, plus an Etsy / Amazon product listing size, general screen sizes (HD to 8K, square, CinemaScope), print (A3, A4, A5, Letter, business card) and web display banner sizes.
Resize: Scales the image to the size you set. It can keep the aspect ratio, fit inside the size, or force the exact size, which can stretch the picture. Quality is adjustable. 1 credit.
Smart crop: Crops to exact dimensions up to 8000 x 8000 and tries to keep the most important region. You can anchor the crop to a side or corner, or set a focal point as a percentage. Output as JPG, PNG or WebP. 1 credit.
Extend with AI: Adds up to 2048 pixels on each side and fills the new area to match the picture, so a square image can become a banner without cropping the subject. 15 credits.
