    Getting a good result

    Shapes platforms use

    1:1 for profile pictures and square posts. 4:5 for a portrait post. 9:16 for Stories, Reels and Shorts covers. 16:9 for thumbnails and slides. 3:2 and 4:3 are the shapes cameras shoot.

    Crop, then resize

    Cropping removes pixels; it never adds any. The line under the settings shows how many are inside the frame. If a platform asks for a set size, type it as the width and the crop is scaled to it.

    00:40Questions

    Image cropper: common questions

    Is my image uploaded?

    No. The crop is made in your browser.

    Does cropping reduce quality?

    The part you keep stays as sharp as it was. It has fewer pixels than the whole image, and nothing else changes.

    Can I crop to a circle?

    No, shapes are rectangles. Most platforms cut profile pictures into a circle themselves, so crop to 1:1 with the face in the middle.
