1080×1080 px · 1:1 square
Each social platform crops uploaded media to its own aspect ratio before showing it in feeds. Uploading at the platform's native size — here, Instagram feed posts — preserves the framing you intended and avoids the soft-focus that comes from the platform's own resampler. This preset outputs 1080×1080 JPEG at the square ratio that Instagram expects.

How Instagram ranks images: engagement-weighted feed favouring saves, shares, and watch-completion over simple likes. Posting at the platform's exact native dimensions (1080×1080 px) preserves your original framing and avoids the softening that happens when the platform's own resampler runs to fit its expected size.
Platform-specific note: Instagram crops feed posts to 4:5 in the timeline preview but stores the original aspect ratio; uploading at the platform's native size avoids the soft-focus that comes from the platform's own resampler.
This preset is a deterministic recipe — every step has fixed parameters so the result is byte-identical across runs of the same input.
Instagram Feed Post crops your input to 1:1 and resizes it to 1080×1080 px as JPEG — a 1.2-megapixel output. The work runs through canvas APIs and a WebAssembly image-encoder; the source image is decoded into an off-screen canvas, transformed in place, and re-encoded without any network upload.
Social-platform uploads frequently re-encode the file at the platform's CDN; running this preset locally before upload lets you see the exact pre-upload state. The browser-side path also means the file never leaves your device — relevant when the input contains personally identifiable information, screenshots of private documents, ID scans, or proprietary product photography.
1080×1080 px, saved as JPEG at quality 90%.
The social this preset targets uses 1:1 framing. For passport photos this matches the printed-photo standard; for social posts it's the safe ratio that fills the feed without horizontal cropping.
The target accepts JPEG, and JPEG compresses photographic content 5-10× smaller than PNG with no visible difference at quality 90%. PNG is the right choice only when the image has hard edges or transparency — which photo-ID, social posts, and product photos don't.
No. This preset runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly + canvas APIs — no server round-trip. You can verify this in your browser's network panel: only static asset requests, no image upload. The file never leaves your device.
