In short

What does social image resizer do?

Place one image on an exact preset canvas for Instagram square, Instagram portrait, Stories/Reels, YouTube thumbnail, LinkedIn share, X card, and Facebook share. The available cover and contain modes either fill the canvas by cropping edges or show the full source and fill the remaining space with the selected background.

Worked example

A concrete social image resizer example

Input
A 2400 × 1600 landscape photograph.
Settings
Instagram square 1,080 × 1,080, cover fit, WebP at 86% quality.
Result
A 1,080 × 1,080 WebP using a crop of the source to fill the selected preset canvas.
What to expect

How it works

The fill mode compares source and target ratios, selects a source rectangle with the target shape, and scales it to fill the canvas. The whole-image mode scales the entire source as large as possible without cropping and places it over the chosen background. The finished canvas is encoded in the selected image format.

Know before using

Limits and edge cases

  • There is no focal-point control, so off-center faces or text may need the image cropper first.
  • The tool exports one preset per run, and platform display crops or recommended dimensions can change; inspect the result in the destination service before publishing.
Common questions

Social image resizer FAQ

Is social image resizer free to use?

Yes. Social image resizer is free to use.

Does social image resizer keep my work private?

Yes. Your work stays private while you use the tool — nothing you enter is uploaded.

Should I choose cover or contain for a social image?

Choose cover when filling every edge matters and some edge content may be cropped. Choose contain when the whole source must remain visible and background bars are acceptable.

Can I download every social preset in one batch?

Not in the current workbench. Select and export one destination preset at a time so you can inspect how each aspect ratio treats the composition.
