What is the Social Media Image Resizer?
The free Social Media Image Resizer resizes any image to the exact pixel dimensions required by every major social platform. Drop your image and select a platform and use case from the grouped list — Facebook Post, Instagram Square, Twitter/X Header, LinkedIn Banner, YouTube Thumbnail, and many more. Three Fit modes give full control: Cover crops to fill the frame, Contain letterboxes the image with a configurable Background colour, or Stretch fills the canvas without cropping. A live preview updates as you select sizes, and Download saves the correctly sized JPEG.
