Resize one image for every social media size

The short answer: open the image in Cropped, tick the sizes you need under Export sizes, check them side by side in Frames, and click Optimize & Save. You get one correctly sized file per network, all from one image.

#Steps

1. Drop the image on the Studio, or press ⌘ Command + O (Windows and Linux: Ctrl + O).
2. Under Export sizes, tick each size, such as Instagram portrait 4:5, X post, LinkedIn post, YouTube thumbnail or a Story. There are 51 built-in platform sizes.
3. Switch to Frames to see them all at once. Drag inside any frame to move the picture, or drag a corner to zoom. Each size keeps its own framing.
4. Turn on In context to check each size inside a simple mock of the feed, Story or header.
5. Click Optimize & Save. Files are named after the size, such as photo-cropped-x-header-1500x500.webp.

If you export WebP or AVIF, each size also gets a PNG or JPG copy, because most networks won't take WebP or AVIF uploads.

#Save the set for next time

Group the sizes you always use into a collection, and share it by link with your team. See Crop images and export social media sizes and the full social media image sizes list.
