💡 Pro Tips
📐 Aspect Ratios
Maintain aspect ratios for social media platforms. Instagram uses 1:1 (square), while Facebook prefers 16:9 for optimal display.
🎯 Composition Rules
Apply the rule of thirds for better composition. Position key elements along the grid lines for more visually appealing results.
📱 Mobile Optimization
Crop images to appropriate sizes for mobile devices. Consider how your image will look on smaller screens.
🔍 Quality Preservation
Start with high-resolution images. Cropping reduces image dimensions, so higher quality originals ensure better results.
🎨 Advanced Techniques
Perfect Square Crops
For social media platforms like Instagram, create perfect square crops by maintaining equal width and height. Our tool automatically shows aspect ratio guides to help you achieve this.
Portrait vs Landscape
Consider your target platform when choosing orientation. Portrait images work well for mobile-first platforms, while landscape images are ideal for desktop viewing and website headers.
Batch Cropping
For multiple images requiring the same crop dimensions, use our tool to establish the perfect crop area on one image, then apply similar proportions to others.
📱 Platform-Specific Guidelines
| Platform | Recommended Size | Aspect Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| 1080x1080px | 1:1 (Square) | |
| 1200x630px | 1.91:1 | |
| 1200x675px | 16:9 | |
| 1200x627px | 1.91:1 |
