Most social platforms crop aggressively when the image ratio does not match the placement. Resize and crop before upload to keep the focal point visible.
For profile images, use a square crop with enough empty space around the face or logo. For story-style placements, use a vertical ratio and keep text away from edges.
When creating multiple versions, export a clean JPG or WebP and name files by platform and placement.
Quick workflow
- Make a copy of the original image if it is important.
- Use the focused PixelForge tool for the task.
- Download the processed version and test it in the destination upload form.
