The Complete Image Resize Guide for Every Social Network

Why Image Size Matters

Posting the wrong-sized image to a social network usually results in awkward cropping. The platform fits your image into its slot however it wants — and what looked perfect on your computer ends up cropped, blurry, or stretched.

Tips

• Aspect ratio matters — if you're going from a 16:9 photo to a 1:1 square, you'll lose part of the image. Use Crop Image first to choose what stays.
• Compress after resizing — once dimensions are right, run the result through the Image Compressor for an extra size reduction.
• Keep originals — always resize a copy and keep your high-res master.
