Frequently Asked Questions

What are the recommended image sizes for social media platforms?

Instagram post: 1080x1080 (square) or 1080x1350 (portrait). Facebook cover: 820x312, post: 1200x630. Twitter/X header: 1500x500, post: 1200x675. LinkedIn banner: 1584x396. YouTube thumbnail: 1280x720. Always check current platform guidelines as they may change.

Does resizing an image reduce its quality?

Enlarging an image always reduces quality because new pixels must be interpolated (guessed). Shrinking an image discards pixels but generally looks fine. For best results, start with a high-resolution original and only resize down. The quality setting affects JPG/WebP compression, not the resize algorithm.

What does 'maintain aspect ratio' mean?

Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between width and height (e.g., 16:9, 4:3). When enabled, changing the width automatically adjusts the height to keep the same proportions, preventing the image from appearing stretched or squished.
