Each platform crops and compresses differently, so resizing your image to the right dimensions first keeps it sharp and properly framed. Here’s how, free and online.
How to resize for social media

Keep it sharp
Always shrink from a larger original rather than enlarging a small one, and crop to the right aspect ratio first with the Crop tool. See how to resize without losing quality.
FAQ
Why does my image look blurry after uploading to a platform?
Platforms compress images. Uploading at the recommended size (above) minimises their re-compression and keeps it crisp.
