Frequently Asked Questions
I need a square image for Instagram. How does this tool help?
Our aspect ratio resizer is perfect for creating Instagram-ready square images! Just select the 1:1 ratio from the dropdown and choose 'fit' to keep your original image intact within the square frame, or 'stretch' to fill the entire square. It's a quick way to ensure your photos meet Instagram's requirements.
What's the difference between 'fit' and 'stretch' options?
The 'fit' option keeps the entire image visible, but may leave white space (or a background color you select) around the edges to match the new aspect ratio. 'Stretch' fills the entire frame by distorting the image – useful if you want to completely fill the new dimensions but aren't concerned about preserving the original proportions.
Can I use this for videos as well?
While this tool is primarily designed for images, you *can* use it on video stills or thumbnails. The 'fit' option will allow you to extract a frame and preserve it proportionally while the 'stretch' option will fill the new dimensions of the frame.
What other aspect ratios are available besides 1:1?
We offer a wide range of aspect ratios including 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, and 21:9. This allows you to create images for various platforms and purposes beyond just Instagram.
I'm making a YouTube banner. Can I use this tool?
Yes! YouTube banners often use a 16:9 aspect ratio. Select this option within the tool and then choose 'fit' to make sure your banner's content is visible, or 'stretch' to completely fill the space.
