Every social platform expects images at particular dimensions, and it will crop, letterbox or compress anything that does not fit — so a photo that looked right on your screen can end up with heads cut off in a header or blurred in a feed. Uploading an image at the platform’s exact pixel size avoids all of that: nothing is auto-cropped, and the platform re-compresses a correctly sized image far less aggressively. This tool crops and scales any picture to those specifications, with presets for the sizes people need most.
The built-in presets cover the common cases: YouTube thumbnails at 1280×720, X (Twitter) headers at 1500×500, Instagram square posts at 1080×1080 and Stories at 1080×1920, and Facebook banners. Pick a preset, position the crop over the part of the image that matters, and export — or set your own width and height for anything not listed. Because you control the crop, the important part of the picture stays in frame instead of being centre-cropped by the platform.
The whole thing runs in your browser: the image is processed on your own machine and never uploaded to us or anyone else, and its camera metadata — including any GPS location saved by a phone — is dropped in the process. That keeps a photo you are about to post from carrying where it was taken.
