| 1:1 | Square | Profile pictures, Instagram grid posts, product thumbnails |
| 4:5 | Tall | Instagram portrait posts, which fill more of the feed |
| 9:16 | Vertical | Stories, reels, TikTok, phone wallpapers |
| 16:9 | Widescreen | YouTube thumbnails, slide images, hero banners |
| 4:3 and 3:2 | Classic photo | Standard prints and most camera photos |
Frequently asked questions

No. Cropping happens in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
