Resize images to 1080 × 1080
Exactly square, every time. The preset is already selected — drop your images in and process.

Set up and ready
This page opens with the 1080 × 1080 preset already applied and the mode set to fill and crop, so every image you process comes out exactly square. Drop your files in and click Process.
If you would rather not crop, switch the mode to fit inside — your images will fit within 1080 × 1080 but keep their original proportions, so most will not be exactly square.
Where 1080 × 1080 is used
- Instagram square posts. Still supported, though note that Instagram moved its grid to portrait in early 2026 and now recommends 1080 × 1350. Square posts get cropped on the new grid.
- Facebook square posts and most paid square ad placements.
- Product photos for smaller catalogues, though Shopify recommends 2048 × 2048 to support zoom.
- Profile pictures across nearly every platform, where square is universal.
- Album artwork and podcast covers, which typically want square at 1400 px or larger.
Should you use square at all?
Being straight about this: if you are making images for Instagram or Facebook feeds in 2026, 1080 × 1350 portrait is the better choice. Meta prioritises 4:5 in the feed, it occupies noticeably more of a phone screen, and it displays correctly on Instagram's portrait grid.
Square remains right for profile pictures, product catalogues, album art and any grid layout that expects it. It is no longer the default for social feed posts.
What fill and crop does to your framing
Forcing a rectangular photo into a square means something has to go. Fill and crop scales the image to cover the full square, then trims equally from both sides of the longer dimension — a centre crop.
For a landscape photo, that removes the left and right edges. For a portrait photo, the top and bottom. If your subject is centred this works fine. If it is off to one side, or if the top of someone's head is about to be cut off, use the crop screen first: set the aspect to 1:1, position the box where you want it, then process.
Quality and format for square images
If these are going to a social platform, use JPEG at quality 85–90. The platform will re-compress whatever you upload, so a heavily compressed file gets compressed twice and shows visible artefacts. JPEG is preselected on this page for exactly that reason.
If these are for your own website, switch to WebP at quality 80 for a considerably smaller file.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make an image exactly 1080 by 1080?
Choose the 1080 by 1080 preset and set the mode to fill and crop. This scales the image to cover the square and trims the overflow, so the output is always exactly those dimensions.
Will my image be cropped?
In fill and crop mode, yes — a rectangular image is trimmed equally from both sides of its longer dimension. Switch to fit inside if you would rather keep the whole frame.
Is 1080 by 1080 still right for Instagram?
It works, but Instagram moved to a portrait grid in early 2026 and now recommends 1080 by 1350. Square posts get cropped on the new grid and take up less screen.
What if my image is smaller than 1080 pixels?
With the do-not-enlarge option ticked, it stays at its original size rather than being upscaled into a blurry version. Untick it if you need the exact dimensions regardless.
What format should I use?
JPEG at quality 85 to 90 for social platforms, since they re-compress everything anyway. WebP at quality 80 for your own website.
Can I resize many images to 1080 by 1080 at once?
Yes. Drop in as many as you like and process them in a single pass, then download the whole batch as a ZIP.
