A worked example
- Input
- A landscape photo positioned for a square frame.
- What comes back
- A square crop of that photo with the subject where you placed it.
- Worth knowing
- Cropping removes pixels - the output is smaller than the original, and cropping a small image to a tall format can leave it below the resolution a platform wants.
If it does not work
The result looks low-resolution
A heavy crop of a small original leaves few pixels. Start from a larger image.
Part of the subject is cut off
Drag the image inside the frame before downloading, or use Center image.

When to use Social Media Cropper
Cropping one photo for several platforms
A square for Instagram, a wide image for a link preview and a tall one for stories, from the same picture.
Fixing an image the platform crops badly
Choose the crop yourself instead of letting the platform cut off heads or text.
Preparing profile and cover images
Get the shape right before uploading so nothing important is lost.
Turning a landscape photo into a story
Pick the tall ratio and drag the subject into the frame so the story shows the part that matters.
How it works
Social Media Image Cropper crops your picture to a platform's aspect ratio on a canvas in your browser:
- Aspect ratio
- Pick the shape the platform expects.
- Position
- Drag the image inside the frame, or press Center image.
- Download
- Save the cropped image. The daily allowance is counted when you download.
What it cannot do
- Cropping removes pixels, so the output is smaller than the original. A heavy crop of a small image can fall below the resolution a platform wants.
- It crops only; it does not resize to exact pixel dimensions or compress the file.
- Platforms change their recommended sizes; check the platform's current guidance for anything important.
- The free allowance is 5 runs per day for this tool, counted in your browser and reset at midnight UTC.
How it compares with the alternatives
Design tools such as Canva have templates sized for each platform, with text and layout tools. Phone photo apps crop to common ratios too.
This tool is a fast, private crop in the browser with no account.
How in-browser processing works, and exactly which tools are the exception, is explained on the why client-side page.
Getting a better result
Start from a large original
Cropping a small image leaves too few pixels.
Keep faces and text away from the edges
Platforms may overlay buttons or round the corners.
Crop first, then resize or compress
Use Image Resizer and Image Compressor afterwards if needed.
Check on a phone
Most people will see the image on a small screen.
Leave breathing room
Do not crop tight to the subject; platforms often show the image slightly smaller than the full frame in feeds.
