Ratios for common uses
1:1 suits profile pictures and marketplace listings. 4:5 fills the most space in the Instagram feed. 16:9 is the standard for YouTube thumbnails and slides, and 9:16 for stories and reels.
See the size as you drag
The box shows its size while you drag, and the grid inside it helps you place the subject off-centre using the rule of thirds.
Crop, then resize
Cropping changes the shape; resizing changes the pixel count. To get an exact output such as 1080 × 1080, crop to 1:1 first and then use Resize.
Frequently asked questions
