How to Size Images for Instagram Without Getting Cropped
Feed, portrait and story dimensions, and why your image keeps getting cut off.
About Instagram Image Resizer — Free Online Tool
Instagram Image Resizer puts a photograph on a 1080 × 1350 portrait canvas at the pixel size the code pins for the feed, either by filling that frame or by fitting the whole picture inside it.
The canvas is fixed, so the one decision that changes the result is the fit. Cover scales the photo until it covers the frame and lets the overflow fall outside the edges, which is what the control starts on and which does crop. Contain scales it until the entire picture is inside and pads the strip that is left over, so nothing is lost but the subject sits smaller; that padding can be a blurred enlargement of your own photo, flat white or black, or a colour you name. The result panel prints the source pixel size next to the output size, which is how you tell whether a small photo was enlarged to get there.
The photograph is decoded and redrawn by the browser on your own machine. It is not uploaded to ShortTrick, and nothing is sent to Instagram — the finished JPEG is a file you download and post yourself.
Preparing a camera photo for the feed without letting the app choose the crop, bringing each listing photo to one consistent portrait shape, and seeing how much of a wide shot survives before you commit to posting it.
