Common crop aspect ratios and their uses
Square (1:1): Instagram posts, profile pictures. 16:9: YouTube thumbnails, website headers. 4:3: traditional photo prints. 3:2: standard DSLR camera sensor ratio. 9:16: Instagram stories, TikTok vertical video.
The rule of thirds in cropping
Place the main subject at one of the four intersections of a grid dividing the image into thirds. This creates more visually interesting compositions than always centering the subject.
Cropping for different platforms
Each platform has its own optimal image dimensions. LinkedIn banners need 1584×396. Facebook covers are 820×312. Twitter/X profile photo is 400×400 displayed as a circle. Always check the platform's current recommended dimensions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I enter exact crop coordinates?
The crop coordinates (as percentage of total image dimensions) are shown below the preview.
Does cropping reduce file size?
Yes — removing pixels reduces file size proportionally. A 50% crop typically halves the file size before any compression is applied.
Can I undo a crop?
Click Clear to start over with the original image. The original is never modified — you can crop repeatedly until satisfied.
