Crop Any Photo to the Exact Size Every Platform Wants
Instagram wants 4:5 or the new 3:4, stories want 9:16, X headers are 3:1, YouTube banners hide everything outside a small safe area. Framely knows the sizes, shows you what each app will cover, and saves the right pixels in seconds — without uploading your photo anywhere.

The problem
Posting the same photo everywhere means fighting a different frame each time. Instagram chops the sides off your group photo, the story stickers cover faces, the X header hides behind your profile picture, and the YouTube banner looks fine on a laptop and broken on a TV. Most online croppers want an account, add a watermark, or upload your picture to a server you know nothing about. Design apps work, but opening a canvas editor to crop one photo takes longer than taking it.
How Framely (Photo Resizer) works
- Drop or paste a photo — JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC straight from an iPhone.
- Pick the platform and the frame: post, story, header, banner, thumbnail, profile photo, or type your own size.
- Drag to move, pinch or scroll to zoom, rotate, straighten or flip. Safe zones show where buttons and avatars will cover the picture.
- Crop to fill, or fit the whole photo on a colour — or a blurred copy of itself with Pro.
- Download a JPG, PNG or WebP at the exact pixel size, share it, or copy it straight into a chat.
What you get
- 60+ frames, kept currentInstagram square, 4:5, 3:4 and stories; Threads; X posts and headers; Facebook posts, covers and events; LinkedIn banners; YouTube thumbnails and banners; TikTok, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Bluesky, Zalo, LINE, Telegram, website images and photo prints.
- Safe zones you can seeStory UI, the X and LinkedIn profile-photo overlap, the Facebook mobile crop and the YouTube banner safe area are drawn right on the preview, so nothing important ends up hidden.
- Round avatarsAny square frame becomes a round profile photo with transparent corners, saved as PNG — ready for every profile, Discord or a website.
- Your kit of go-to sizesSave the sizes you post every week — one tap jumps straight to the next platform instead of hunting through tabs. Free keeps one kit; Pro keeps as many as you want, and can share or zip every size in a kit at once.
- Every size at once (Pro)Tick the sizes you need and Framely makes them all from one photo, keeping your subject centred in each, in one .zip.
- Carousels and profile grids (Pro)Split a panorama into a seamless swipe carousel, or a big picture into a 3×1 to 3×4 grid numbered in the order to post.
- Folders, blur fit and file size (Pro)Crop a whole folder of photos to the same frame at once and save the results straight into a folder on Chrome or Edge, or as one .zip of any size. Fit a photo on a blurred background instead of cutting it, and keep each file under 100 KB up to 5 MB for forms and marketplaces.
Private by design
Framely never uploads your photo. The crop, the resize and the new file all happen in your browser on your device, and the saved image contains no EXIF data — no GPS location, no camera serial number. There is no account, no server and no tracking, so there is nothing to leak. Your custom frames, kits and settings stay in this browser only.

FAQ
Is Framely free?
Yes. Every single crop, every platform size, custom ratios, round avatars, colour fit and all export formats are free, with no watermark and no account.
What size should an Instagram post be?
Framely offers 1080×1080 (square), 1080×1350 (4:5 portrait), 1080×1440 (3:4, matching the newer profile grid), 1080×566 (landscape) and 1080×1920 for stories and reels. Platforms change their recommendations from time to time, so check the platform's own help if in doubt.
Can it open iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes. Safari opens HEIC directly; on other browsers Framely decodes HEIC on your device with the same engine as Recast.
Does cropping here reduce quality?
Framely renders from your original pixels at the exact output size. If the crop has to be enlarged, it warns you, because enlarging cannot add detail.
Can it handle very large photos?
Yes. Framely keeps only a small preview of each photo in memory and opens the full photo when it exports, one at a time, so a folder of 50 MB photos works on an ordinary laptop. Each large photo takes a few seconds to export.
Does it keep the colours of iPhone photos?
Yes. iPhone photos use the wider Display P3 colour range. Framely notices it and keeps it in the JPG, PNG or WebP it saves, so bright reds, oranges and greens look the same as on your phone. Ordinary photos stay in standard sRGB.
How do the carousel and grid work?
Framely draws one big frame made of several slides or tiles, lets you place the photo across all of them, then cuts it into separate files numbered in the order to post.
How much is Pro?
One dollar, once. Pro adds every size in one .zip, batch cropping, carousels, profile grids, blurred-background fit, a file-size limit and unlimited saved frames, and unlimited kits shared or zipped in one go. No subscription.
