Choose the right crop for your photo
These examples start with a 1200 × 800 px image. A crop changes the frame without stretching the subject. Choose a ratio, then move the selection to keep what matters.
4:5 · 640 × 800 px
Portrait composition
Choose 4:5 for a vertical frame. In this example, the largest selection is 640 × 800 pixels, so more of the sides are removed.
16:9 · 1200 × 675 px
Wide cover image
Choose 16:9 for a horizontal frame. The largest selection is 1200 × 675 pixels; move it up or down to position the subject.
Crop to exact pixels
For a centered 800 × 800 crop of a 1200 × 800 image, select 1:1: X is 200 and Y is 0. Coordinates start at the top left of the original. Cropping cannot make an image larger; use the resizer when you need different output dimensions.
Resize imageKeep the whole photo
A crop removes the area outside the selection. To place an entire photo in a square or portrait canvas, use the Instagram resizer with Fit whole image. It adds space instead of cutting off the edges.
Instagram resizerMake a round profile picture
The 1:1 preset produces a square image. Use the circle cropper for a round selection with transparent corners. Save the result as PNG to keep that transparency.

How it works
Cropping copies only the selected rectangle into a new image. The handles work with a mouse, touch or keyboard. Common ratios include 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 4:5 and 9:16.
Made for everyday images
Reframe a portrait, remove distracting edges, make a square avatar or prepare a vertical image for a story.
Frequently asked questions
Can I crop without a fixed ratio?
Yes. Choose Free and move any handle, or enter exact pixel coordinates.
Is the image stretched?
No. The selected pixels are copied at their original resolution. Re-encoding JPEG or WebP can still change fine detail.
