Resize Image to 1080×1080 Pixels

Resize a photo to exactly 1080 × 1080 pixels. The width and height are already set; just add your image and download the result. 1080×1080 is the recommended size for square Instagram posts. Need a file size limit too? This 1080x1080 image converter can also keep the JPG under 200 KB.

How to use the Resize Image to 1080×1080

  1. Add your image.
  2. The size is set to 1080 × 1080. If your image is not square, choose “Crop to fill” to avoid stretching, or “Fit inside” to keep the full image.
  3. Pick an output format and quality.
  4. Press “Apply” and download the resized image.

Where 1080×1080 images are used

  • Instagram square posts (1080×1080 is the recommended size)
  • Facebook and LinkedIn square images
  • WhatsApp status images
  • Square ads and carousel slides

Non-square photos

If the original photo is not square, forcing it into a square shape would stretch it. Turn off “Lock aspect ratio” only if you really want that. Otherwise use “Crop to fill”, which trims the edges so the center of the photo fills the square, or “Fit inside”, which keeps the whole image and adds a white or transparent border.

Resize image to 1080x1080 and under 200 KB

Some forms and websites ask for a 1080x1080 JPG that is also below a file size such as 200 KB. Add your photo, keep the size at 1080 × 1080, switch compression to “Max file size” and type 200. Press “Apply”: the tool picks the highest JPG quality that stays under the limit and shows the final size in KB before you download.

A 1080×1080 photo saved as JPG is usually far smaller than the original, so most limits are easy to reach without visible quality loss. PNG files are larger; choose JPG when you have a KB limit.

1080x1080 pixels in inches and aspect ratio

1080 × 1080 pixels is a 1:1 (square) aspect ratio. Its size in inches depends on the DPI: at 300 DPI (print) it is 3.6 × 3.6 inches, and at 96 DPI (a typical screen) it is about 11.25 × 11.25 inches. Websites and apps only look at the pixel size, so 1080x1080 px is what matters online.
