Free Image Size Guide

Every size for every network, and a resizer that crops to fit.

Profile pictures, banners, posts and stories for 16 networks, with the size to upload. Pick one, drop in your image, place it and download it at the exact size.

Profile

Posts

Stories and vertical video

Instagram portrait post

1,080 × 1,350 px · 4:5

The best size for the feed. The profile grid crops it to 3:4, so keep the subject in the middle.

Cropped in your browser: your image isn’t uploaded anywhere.

Image sizes

How networks handle images

Recommended uploads: networks scale images down, never up, so start at least this big.

  • 1

    They scale down, not up

    Upload at the recommended size or larger. A small image gets blurry when the network stretches it.

  • 2

    Profile pictures are circles

    Most networks crop profile pictures to a circle. Keep faces and logos in the middle.

  • 3

    Banners get cropped

    Phones show less of a banner than desktops. Keep text in the middle.

  • 4

    Portrait wins in feeds

    A 4:5 image takes more of the screen than a square or landscape one.

Image Size Guide FAQ

Questions, answered.

What are the most common social media image sizes?

1080 × 1080 for square posts, 1080 × 1350 for portrait posts, 1080 × 1920 for Stories and vertical video, and 1500 × 500 for headers on X, Bluesky and Mastodon.

Is the image resizer free?

Yes, and it works without signing up. Images are cropped in your browser and never uploaded.

Does the resizer upload my images?

No. Cropping happens in your browser and the image never leaves your device.

Should I download JPG or PNG?

JPG for photos: smaller files. PNG for logos, text and anything with sharp edges.

Why does my image look blurry after uploading?

It was smaller than the size the network shows it at, so it got stretched. Start from a larger image.
