How to Crop Images for Social Media (Correct Aspect Ratios)
Bad crops ruin great photos. Use aspect-ratio presets and batch-crop for every platform.
Cropping is more than cutting edges — it's framing. A 16:9 landscape crop works for YouTube; a 4:5 portrait crop fits Instagram feeds better than square for many subjects.
Popular aspect ratios
- 1:1 — Instagram posts, profile squares
- 4:5 — Instagram portrait feed (tall)
- 16:9 — YouTube, presentations, banners
- 9:16 — Stories, Reels, TikTok
