Instagram Image Resizer

Resize Instagram graphics for the format you actually need

A design that works in Canva or in a desktop editor does not always survive the jump to Instagram. Here you can check the crop first and export the exact layout for feed, story or reel.

How it works

1. Upload a photo, screenshot or finished social media graphic.
2. Pick the Instagram format and move the crop until the subject or text sits where you want it.
3. Export the result as PNG, JPG or WebP.

Common use cases

• Turning one design into both a feed post and a story version.
• Fixing a portrait image that gets clipped when forced into a square.
• Preparing taller 1080 x 1350 posts that use more screen space on mobile.

When it is worth using

It is especially handy when you already have the content and only need the right Instagram frame.

• You exported a post from Canva and now need a second version for story or reel.
• The text looks too small in a square post and needs more vertical room.
• You want to keep the whole image visible with padding instead of cropping it hard.

Which Instagram size should you choose

The right preset depends on how the image will be consumed on a phone, not just on what looks good in a design file.

• 1080 x 1080 is the safe square format when you want a simple grid-friendly post.
• 1080 x 1350 usually works best for feed posts with text because it fills more of the mobile screen.
• 1080 x 1920 is the standard full-screen format for stories and reels.
• 1080 x 566 is useful when the design is meant to feel wider, but it gives you less room for text.

Typical problems

• Text that looked fine in a desktop artboard becomes too small on a phone.
• A portrait image loses the top or bottom when squeezed into a square.
• A story export looks empty because the original layout was built for feed, not for 9:16.

Export and image quality

• PNG is usually the safest choice for graphics with text and UI elements.
• JPG works well for photos and often keeps the file size lower.
• WebP can be a good compromise when you want a lighter file for drafts or quick sharing.

Practical tips

• If the post contains text, preview it at phone size before publishing.
• Use 1080 x 1350 when you want a bit more room around headings, lists or product details.
• Fit mode is useful when you want to keep the full image and add a clean background color.
• If one design needs to go to feed and story, make the feed crop first and then adapt the taller version.
