Social Media Crop applies platform presets—Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok—so a batch exports at the sizes those surfaces expect. Preview framing once, then download a ZIP; everything runs locally in your browser.
Social media crop is batch cropping with ready-made platform sizes (for example Instagram 1080×1080 or YouTube banner 2560×1440), so you skip looking up dimensions and still keep consistent framing across many images.

Social media crop is a batch image cropping mode built around platform presets instead of blank width/height fields. You pick a network and variant—square post, story, cover, thumbnail, banner—and the tool locks the crop box to that size for every file in the set.
It sits between freeform manual crop and raw pixel entry: you still control framing, but the dimensions follow common publishing targets so cross-posting and content calendars stay predictable.
Presets mirror the dimensions built into this tool. Platforms update guidelines over time—preview on-device when a surface is especially strict about safe zones.
Square 1080×1080, Portrait 1080×1350, Landscape 1080×566, Story 1080×1920.
Post 1200×630, Cover 851×315.
Post 1600×900, Header 1500×500.
Post 1200×627, Cover 1128×191.
Thumbnail 1280×720, Banner 2560×1440.
Vertical 1080×1920 for full-screen feed creatives.
| Preset | Size | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Instagram Square | 1080×1080 | Feed posts and grid-friendly product shots |
| Instagram / TikTok Story | 1080×1920 | Vertical stories and short-form covers |
| LinkedIn Post | 1200×627 | Link-style and landscape feed images |
| YouTube Banner | 2560×1440 | Channel art sized for large displays |
| YouTube Thumbnail | 1280×720 | 16:9 video preview stills |
Prep a week of posts at one preset, download the ZIP, then switch presets for the next network without rebuilding crops from scratch.
One photo set rarely fits every network. Re-run the batch per preset so Instagram portrait and LinkedIn landscape each get a deliberate frame.
Wide banners (YouTube 2560×1440, LinkedIn 1128×191) need careful safe-area framing that freeform tools make easy to miss.
Hand off platform-labeled sizes instead of “close enough” exports that get auto-cropped after upload.
9:16 presets keep key subjects centered for Stories and TikTok-style surfaces.
Campaign assets and unreleased creatives stay on-device. No account upload is required to finish the crop.
Use presets when the destination is a network surface; use another mode when the size is custom or the mask is non-rectangular.
| Mode | Best when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Social Media Crop | You need Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, or TikTok sizes | Custom CMS dimensions may not match these presets |
| Pixel Crop | You have an arbitrary exact width × height | You must know the numbers yourself |
| Percentage Crop | You only need to trim similar borders from mixed sizes | Outputs will not share one social canvas size |
| Manual Crop | Each subject needs a unique freeform frame | Slower when the size is already a known preset |
| Shape Crop | You need circular avatars or rounded masks | Most feeds still expect rectangular uploads |
Channel art and covers crop differently on phone vs TV. Keep text and logos away from extreme edges, especially on YouTube banners.
A 2560×1440 banner needs a large original. Soft or tiny sources will look soft after the crop.
Networks A/B-test layouts. Treat presets as strong starting points and spot-check a publish preview when the placement is critical.
Each ZIP matches the active preset. Run again with another preset when the same photos must serve Instagram and LinkedIn.
Social media crop uses preset width × height values for each platform surface—such as Instagram square 1080×1080 or LinkedIn post 1200×627—so batch exports match common publishing sizes.
This mode includes presets for Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok, covering common post, cover, story, thumbnail, and banner sizes in the tool.
Yes. Crop and download for one preset, then switch to another preset and process again from the same uploads. That keeps framing intentional per network.
Pixel crop asks you to type any width and height. Social crop starts from platform presets so you do not need to memorize each network’s recommended size.
No. Cropping runs in your browser. Files stay on your device unless you download the ZIP yourself.
That size matches our youtube-banner preset and aligns with YouTube Help guidance for recommended channel banner dimensions on large displays, including TV.
Social presets track official platform size guidance where those networks publish it. The sources below support the YouTube banner and LinkedIn image-size choices used on this page.
Quoted official wording
According to YouTube Help, channel banner / channel art guidance recommends a large banner image—commonly cited at 2560×1440 pixels—for the best display across devices (including TV), which is why this tool’s youtube-banner preset uses 2560×1440.

This page helps with platform-preset batch cropping in the browser. Always preview safe areas and switch to pixel or manual crop when a job needs a custom size or off-center framing the preset box cannot fix.
