Where a 1080 × 1080 square is asked for
The square at 1080 pixels has become a common size for profile pictures and product cards: avatars and page logos on social networks and messengers, the thumbnail of a marketplace listing, the tile in a web shop grid, a team photo on a company page. Instagram's square post is the best-known 1080 × 1080, and the preset carries its name in the list, but the size is the same whichever service asks for it. Many services rescale uploads to the sizes they display, and a picture that already matches the requested size leaves them the least to recalculate. This page opens with that preset chosen; drop the file and the only question left is what to do with the parts that do not fit.
Contain, cover or stretch: a photo that is not square
Almost no photograph is square to begin with, so the preset has to decide how to make it one; the choice is in the Fit list under “More settings”. Contain, the default, scales the whole picture to fit inside the square and fills the rest with white for a JPEG or BMP source and with transparency for a PNG, WebP, AVIF or GIF. Nothing is lost, but a landscape shot ends up as a strip between two bars. Cover scales the picture until the square is full and trims the overflow equally from both sides, so a wide picture loses its left and right edges and a tall one its top and bottom. Stretch forces the pixels into the square and distorts faces; it exists for the rare service that wants a non-proportional size. If the subject is off-centre, cut the square yourself first with Crop Image and let the resize do only the scaling.
Why a small picture stays small
On this page the preset only scales down, and the rule has no switch: if either side of the source is shorter than 1080 pixels, the picture comes back at its original dimensions. The size shown above the preview says so before you download, 800 × 600 rather than 1080 × 1080, and so does the file name, photo-800x600.jpg. Stretching cannot recover pixels the camera never captured, and a soft enlarged square looks worse on a profile than a smaller sharp one, so a bigger original, if you have one, is the better starting point. If a service insists on the exact number, crop the picture square, then run it through Bulk Resize with the 1080 × 1080 preset and “Don't enlarge beyond original size” switched off under “More settings”. Scaling down, the usual direction here, uses the Lanczos filter, which keeps edges crisp where simpler tools blur them.
Twenty files at once, and the weight
Up to twenty files go through the preset in one pass and come back as one ZIP, enough for a set of team avatars or the cards of a small catalogue. Each file is checked against the no-enlarge rule on its own, so a mixed batch returns the big pictures at 1080 × 1080 and the small ones at their own size. The format stays that of the source: a JPEG is written at quality 90, a PNG stays lossless, WebP and AVIF stay what they were, and GIF and BMP come out as PNG. Quality 90 is not the lightest a JPEG can be, and a PNG of a photograph is heavier still, so if a service caps the weight as well as the pixels, run the result through Compress Image with the target you need. Bulk Resize takes hundreds of files, but it always keeps proportions, so it makes squares only of pictures that are square already.
Your file stays on your device
Decoding, resampling and re-encoding run inside your browser tab through WebAssembly. No image is uploaded, no server ever sees it, and everything is cleared from memory the moment you close the tab.
Frequently asked questions
Does resizing down hurt image quality?
Shrinking an image loses some fine detail by necessity, but the Lanczos3 filter used for downscaling here is one of the sharpest resampling algorithms available, well ahead of the blurrier box or bilinear filters built into many simple tools. At normal reduction ratios the result looks crisp, not soft.
Why can't I enlarge my image by default?
Making an image bigger than its original resolution does not recover detail that was never captured. It just spreads existing pixels over more space, which looks soft rather than sharp. The "no upscale" option is on by default to stop this from happening by accident; switch it off if you specifically want to force a larger size anyway.
What's the difference between contain, cover and stretch?
They only matter when your target shape does not match the source's proportions. Contain shows the whole photo with padding added around it. Cover fills the frame completely by cropping the overflow, centered on the image. Stretch forces the exact box and distorts the picture if the proportions do not match.
What size do I need for Instagram?
The square post preset is 1080×1080 pixels, and the story/reel preset is 1080×1920. Both are built in: pick the preset mode and choose the one you need instead of typing the numbers yourself.
What does 300 DPI mean for an A4 page?
DPI (dots per inch) describes print sharpness: at 300 DPI, an A4 sheet (210×297 mm) needs 2480×3508 pixels to print crisply, which is exactly what the A4 preset produces. Screens do not have a fixed DPI, so this setting only matters when the image is headed to a printer.
Are EXIF data and orientation kept?
Camera metadata itself is not carried into the output, but the orientation it describes is: a portrait photo stored sideways by the camera is straightened before resizing, so the result faces the right way regardless of what your phone recorded.
How many files can I resize at once?
Up to 20 files in one pass with the same settings applied to each, packed into a single ZIP. For folders larger than 20 images, use Bulk Resize Images instead, which is built for hundreds of files at once.
Why do GIF and BMP files come out as PNG?
The browser's Canvas API, which reads these two formats, can only decode them; it cannot write a GIF or BMP back out. PNG is the closest lossless format it can produce, so that is what you get; JPEG, PNG, WebP and AVIF inputs all keep their original format.
