Every platform wants a different shape. Upload a photo or paste an image URL, then crop it to the exact ratio Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, or YouTube actually renders — instead of letting them chop it up for you.
| Platform | Size | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Facebook / LinkedIn / X (link cards) | 1200 × 630 | 1.91:1 |
| Instagram Square | 1080 × 1080 | 1:1 |
| Instagram Feed | 1080 × 1350 | 4:5 |
| Stories / Reels / TikTok | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 |
| Pinterest Pin | 1000 × 1500 | 2:3 |
| YouTube Thumbnail | 1280 × 720 | 16:9 |
Every platform quietly assumes a different shape for the same photo — this is for whoever got tired of letting the platform decide what gets cut off.
1200×630 pixels, a 1.91:1 ratio — this is also what LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Reddit, and Slack use for their link preview cards, so one crop covers all of them.
Most photos aren't already the 1.91:1 (or other) ratio a platform expects. The platform center-crops it to fit automatically, which often cuts off exactly the part you wanted visible. Cropping it yourself first, to the exact target ratio, fixes this.
A file you choose is read locally and never leaves your device. A URL you paste is fetched directly by your browser from wherever it's hosted, same as opening it in a new tab — that request is visible to that image's host, not to this site. Either way, the crop and export happen entirely locally.
Yes — uploading a photo or pasting a URL both work fine on mobile browsers, unlike an earlier version of this tool that relied on desktop-only screen capture.
Some image hosts block cross-origin access, which stops a browser from reading the image's pixel data even though it can display it. If pasting a URL fails, download the file and use "Choose a Photo" instead — that always works regardless of the source.
No more than any crop — you're selecting a region of the original pixels, not recompressing them beyond the final PNG export step.
No — it handles one photo at a time. For batches, repeat the same platform preset and repositioning step per image.
No — the exported PNG is exactly your cropped photo, with nothing added.
