How do I check if my image fits a specific social media format?

Upload your image and select a platform and post type (like Instagram Story or Facebook Cover), and the tool shows a live crop preview of how it will appear in that exact format.

What is the difference between a post, story, and cover image size?

Posts are typically square or portrait feed images, stories are full-screen vertical formats, and covers are wide banner images for profile pages — each platform has specific pixel dimensions for these.

Why does my image look cropped differently on different platforms?

Each social platform uses different aspect ratios and crop points for the same image slot, so a photo that looks great on Instagram may crop differently on Facebook or LinkedIn without checking beforehand.

Is this social media size checker free to use?

Yes, completely free with no limits on how many times you can check dimensions or preview crops.

Does this tool upload my image to a server?

No, the crop preview is rendered entirely in your browser using the Canvas API; your image is never uploaded anywhere.
