The Best Image Sizes for Every Social Platform (2026)
A no-nonsense 2026 cheat sheet of the exact pixel dimensions for posts, stories, covers and thumbnails across Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, TikTok and Pinterest.
GigAI Image Resizer scales JPG, PNG and WebP to exact pixel dimensions with Lanczos resampling (via pica), in your browser. Our benchmark took a 4000×3000 photo to 1600×1200 in 3.1 seconds, 3.4 MB down to 292 KB. Aspect-ratio lock, platform presets, no upload, no watermark, no account.
The GigAI Image Resizer scales your photos and graphics to any dimension you type, using the browser's high-quality canvas resampler for smooth, artefact-free results. Lock the aspect ratio to avoid stretching, or unlock it to force an exact frame. One-click presets cover the sizes that actually matter: Instagram square and story, a Facebook cover, an X/Twitter header, a YouTube thumbnail and a 1080p desktop wallpaper, so you never have to memorise pixel counts again. Everything runs locally in your tab: your image is never uploaded, and the result panel shows the original and new dimensions along with the exact scale factor applied.

Drag a JPG, PNG or WebP onto the workspace, click to browse your files, or paste one directly from the clipboard.
Type an exact width and height, or click a social preset. Leave the aspect-ratio lock on to keep proportions intact.
Press Resize to resample the image locally. The before/after view shows the original and new dimensions side by side.
Save the resized image straight to your device. Need another size? Change the numbers and resize again, it's instant.
Type the precise pixel dimensions you need. The resizer renders to that size on the spot. No rounding surprises, no guesswork.
Keep the lock on and one field updates the other automatically, so your image scales in proportion and never looks squashed.
Snap to an Instagram post, story, Facebook cover, X header, YouTube thumbnail or 1080p wallpaper with a single click.
Both enlarging and shrinking use the canvas's high-quality smoothing, keeping edges clean and colors smooth at the new size.
The result panel spells out the old and new dimensions and the exact percentage you scaled by, so you know what happened.
Upload requirements differ everywhere, profile photos, banners, marketplace listings. Dial in the exact size a form demands and pass validation the first time.
The aspect lock does the maths for you, so portraits stay portraits and logos keep their shape instead of warping to fill a box.
Resizing happens in your browser with the canvas API. Your file is never sent anywhere, and even large images render in a moment.
It's a web page that works the same on a phone, tablet or laptop. No app, no plugin and no account to create first.
