Resize Image to 1080×1080 (Instagram Square)

1080×1080 is the pixel size Instagram uses for a square feed post, and it's also the sweet spot for Facebook and LinkedIn square creatives — upload anything larger and the platform re-compresses it, upload something smaller and it looks soft. This tool crops and scales your photo to exactly 1080×1080 so what you see is what gets posted, with no surprise re-crop. Everything runs on your device, so your photo is never uploaded to a third-party resizer.

Good to know

  • Outputs exactly 1080 × 1080 pixels — the native size of an Instagram square post.
  • "Cover" fit fills the whole square and trims the overflow, so there are no letterbox bars.
  • No size cap on this preset, so the export keeps full quality for a crisp feed image.
  • Great for square profile banners, album covers and any 1:1 social creative, not just Instagram.
  • Processed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 1080×1080 the best size for an Instagram post?
1080 pixels is the maximum width Instagram stores for feed images, and a 1:1 (square) ratio is the safest crop that looks good on every device. Supplying the image at exactly 1080×1080 means Instagram doesn't have to up- or down-scale it, which keeps it sharp.
Will my photo get stretched to fit the square?
No. The tool uses a "cover" crop: it scales your photo to fill the 1080×1080 box and trims whatever hangs over the edges, so the picture keeps its natural proportions and is never squashed.
Can I use this for other platforms?
Yes — 1080×1080 works for Facebook and LinkedIn square posts too, and for album art or avatars that want a 1:1 image. For other exact sizes, use the main Resize tool where you can type any width and height.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The resize runs on a canvas in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device and we never see it.
