Which preset should I use for an Instagram feed photo?

Choose the square post at 1080 by 1080 when the grid should be even, or the portrait post at 1080 by 1350 when you want a taller feed frame. The Instagram story preset is 1080 by 1920 and belongs on a story, not in the square grid. This page sets the pixels. It does not sign into the account or publish the file for you.

Is 1200 by 627 a LinkedIn carousel?

No. In this resizer, 1200 by 627 is the LinkedIn post preset, a single wide still. The LinkedIn profile preset is 400 by 400 and the cover is 1584 by 396. A carousel of several slides is a different job and a different set of frames. Export the post preset when you are attaching one image to an update.

What sizes does the picker offer for X and YouTube?

X profile is 400 by 400, the header is 1500 by 500, and a post is 1200 by 675. YouTube’s channel icon is 800 by 800, the banner is 2560 by 1440, and the thumbnail is 1280 by 720. Keep the header subject in the center band, because the visible strip changes with the screen. Do not reuse the thumbnail as the banner.

Can I resize several campaign photos at once?

The resizer loads the first file only. Add that picture, pick the preset, download, and then add the next picture. Repeat the same preset when the set should match. Each side stays within 10000 pixels. Working one file at a time also lets you catch a bad crop before the rest of the set follows it.

How do JPEG, WebP, and PNG treat a target file size?

A kilobyte target applies to JPEG and WebP. If that box is empty, both save at quality 0.92. PNG ignores the kilobyte target, so use PNG when you want the graphic uncompressed by that aim, and use JPEG or WebP when an upload form rejects a heavy file. Check the download size after you export.

Will a small logo look sharp as a YouTube banner?

Only if the source already has the detail. The banner preset is 2560 by 1440. Enlarging a tiny mark to that box makes the edges soft, because the resizer does not invent texture. Begin with artwork at least that large, or export the smaller profile icon and keep the banner for a file that can hold it.

The picture is ready, and the app is about to decide what stays in frame. Give it a file that is already the right shape, and a face, a product, or a short line of type has a fair chance of surviving the crop. The presets are the boxes this resizer can apply in one pick. Facebook profile is 170 by 170, the cover is 820 by 312, a post is 1200 by 630, and a story is 1080 by 1920. Instagram profile is 320 by 320, a square post is 1080 by 1080, a portrait post is 1080 by 1350, and a story is 1080 by 1920. LinkedIn profile is 400 by 400, the cover is 1584 by 396, and a post is 1200 by 627. That last pair is this resizer’s LinkedIn post preset. A LinkedIn carousel is a different layout, so do not treat 1200 by 627 as a swipe deck. X profile is 400 by 400, the header is 1500 by 500, and a post is 1200 by 675. YouTube’s channel icon is 800 by 800, the banner is 2560 by 1440, and a thumbnail is 1280 by 720. TikTok profile is 200 by 200 and a video frame is 1080 by 1920. Pinterest profile is 165 by 165 and a pin is 1000 by 1500. Add one picture. If several files are selected, the resizer loads the first and leaves the rest alone. Each side may run up to 10000 pixels, which covers the YouTube banner and still stops a runaway number. A kilobyte target is used only for JPEG and WebP. Leave it blank and those two formats save at quality 0.92. PNG does not follow a kilobyte target. The resize stays on this device. Stretching a small original up to a banner does not invent detail that was never captured, so start from a master that is already sharp at the size you need.

Choose the surface before you export

Feed, story, header, and thumbnail are different boxes

A square grid post and a full-screen story do not share a frame. Instagram’s square and portrait presets are for the feed. The story preset, shared in shape with Facebook’s story and TikTok’s video frame, is the tall phone box. YouTube’s thumbnail is a wide 16:9 still, and the channel banner is much larger than that thumbnail. Export the surface you are about to open. Reusing a feed square as a header cuts the sides off a face that was composed for a grid.

Wide cards and profile marks

Facebook’s post preset and LinkedIn’s post preset are both wide, and they are not the same integers. X’s post is a third wide shape, and the X header is a short strip at 1500 wide by 500 tall. Profile marks are small squares: 170 on Facebook, 320 on Instagram, 400 on LinkedIn and on X, 800 for a YouTube icon, 200 on TikTok, and 165 on Pinterest. Put the face in the middle of a profile square, because many apps clip the corners into a circle. Tiny type in a 165 or 200 pixel mark will not survive.

One file, then the format

This page handles a single image at a time. Drop the next photo after the first download is saved. JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF can come in. Export JPG when the still is a photograph and you may also type a kilobyte aim. Export WebP for the same kind of size aim. Export PNG when you need a flat graphic and you are willing to ignore the kilobyte box. If the source is smaller than the preset, the pixels get larger and the picture gets softer. Shoot or export a bigger master when the banner looks mushy.

The download stays a picture

The download is a picture on your computer. It is not posted to the network. Captions, music, and alt text stay in the app you open next. If a campaign has three surfaces, make three files and name them so the square, the story, and the thumbnail cannot be mixed up at upload time. Check the file info once. The numbers should match the preset you picked.

How it works

1
Add the first picture
Choose one JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF. Extra files in the same selection are not loaded. Compare the photo’s shape with the preset before you export, so a landscape still is not forced into a tall story without a look.
2
Pick the network and the preset
Open Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, or Pinterest, then choose profile, cover, post, story, or thumbnail as that network offers it. The width and height fields take those integers, and either side stops at 10000.
3
Save and open the file info
Download, then read the pixel size. JPEG or WebP with an empty kilobyte box uses quality 0.92. A filled kilobyte box applies only to those two formats. PNG skips that target. Upload the file you just checked.

Use cases

A feed post that should stay square or tall

Use the Instagram square or the Instagram portrait when the grid is the destination. Keep every slide in a set on the same preset so the height does not jump as someone swipes.

A story or a vertical video cover

Facebook story, Instagram story, and the TikTok video frame share 1080 by 1920. Keep the subject near the middle. Interface chrome often covers the top and the bottom.

A link card or a channel thumbnail

Facebook post, LinkedIn post, and X post are the wide share stills. YouTube’s thumbnail is 1280 by 720. Build the words large enough to read at the size a phone actually shows.

A profile mark and a banner

Export the small profile square for the account, then a separate cover, header, or YouTube banner. The X header and a YouTube banner are not interchangeable files.

Problems we solve

The app crops the edges

A wrong ratio is the usual cause. Export the preset for that surface, with the subject away from the borders, and the crop has less to remove.

A tiny logo blown up to a banner

Upscaling to 2560 by 1440 does not create new detail. Start from artwork that is already large, or accept a soft result and keep the original master.

A kilobyte aim on a PNG

PNG ignores that box. Switch to JPEG or WebP when the upload form cares about kilobytes, or leave the box blank and let JPEG and WebP use quality 0.92.

The listed presets, nothing invented

The numbers above are the presets in the picker. LinkedIn’s 1200 by 627 entry is the post, and it is not a carousel size.

The picture stays here

The resize runs locally. One image is processed, the first file you add, and the download is yours to upload.

A ceiling you can see

Each side is limited to 10000 pixels. JPEG and WebP can aim at a kilobyte size. PNG does not.
