Questions, answered

Aspect ratio changer questions

How do I change the aspect ratio of a photo without cropping it?

Choose the new shape and keep "Keep the whole picture". The photo stays complete and the empty space becomes a border: a blurred copy of the photo, white, black, any colour, or transparent.

What is the aspect ratio of an image?

It is the shape of the picture: its width compared with its height. 1920 x 1080 is 16:9 (wide), 1080 x 1920 is 9:16 (tall) and 1080 x 1080 is 1:1 (square). The calculator below works it out for any size.

What is the difference between aspect ratio and resolution?

Resolution is the number of pixels, such as 1920 x 1080; the aspect ratio is only the shape, 16:9. A 1280 x 720 picture has a lower resolution but the same 16:9 shape.

Which aspect ratio should I use for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube?

Instagram feed: 4:5 (1080 x 1350) or 1:1 (1080 x 1080). Stories, Reels, TikTok and Shorts: 9:16 (1080 x 1920). YouTube videos and thumbnails: 16:9 (1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720).

Will it lose quality?

No. With Full quality the photo keeps all its pixels and only gets a border, or is only cut. Setting a smaller width makes the picture smaller, as you would expect.

Are my pictures uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device.
