Resize Images to 1:1 Aspect Ratio
Resizing an image to a 1:1 square format adjusts its dimensions to fit a square space. For example, a portrait photo can be cropped to maintain key details while creating a square image suitable for social media profiles. Alternatively, stretching the image fills the entire square area. When designing a widescreen banner, resizing to 21:9 proportionally fits the photo within the banner, leaving empty space, or stretches it to cover the full area. This method ensures compatibility with different display requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make my landscape photo into a vertical one for Instagram?
Select the 9:16 aspect ratio. If you choose 'fit', your photo will be displayed within the new dimensions, possibly with some blank space. 'Stretch' will fill the entire 9:16 area, expanding the image.
What's the difference between 'fit' and 'stretch'?
'Fit' preserves your original image's proportions within the new aspect ratio, potentially leaving empty areas. 'Stretch' alters the image's proportions to completely fill the new aspect ratio, expanding it to cover the entire frame.
I want to create a square image (1:1) from a wider photo. Will I lose detail?
Using 'fit' will crop the wider photo to fit the 1:1 aspect ratio. This means some parts of the original image will be removed to create the square. 'Stretch' will expand the original image, but it could distort the image.
Can I use this tool to create images for a widescreen presentation?
Absolutely! Select the 21:9 aspect ratio to create widescreen images. 'Fit' will show your image within the 21:9 frame, while 'stretch' will fill the entire frame.
How can I make a 4:3 image from a portrait photo for a school project?
Choose the 4:3 aspect ratio. With 'fit', parts of the portrait will be cropped to fit the 4:3 format. Selecting 'stretch' will expand the portrait, making it wider to fill the 4:3 frame.
