Crop any image to a clean Instagram post. Lock 1:1 for a 1080×1080 square, the most reliable feed size, so your photo is not auto-cropped on upload.

Instagram feed posts work best as a 1:1 square at 1080×1080, the safest, most consistent size for a grid. Instagram also supports 4:5 portrait (1080×1350), which takes up more vertical space in the feed. This tool locks to 1:1 by default; type 1080×1080 for an exact square, or pick a different ratio if you want portrait. Cropping it yourself stops Instagram from trimming faces or text on upload.
For a tidy profile grid, crop every post to the same ratio so thumbnails line up. Center your subject, leave a little margin, and export JPG for photos or PNG for graphics and text. For a round profile picture rather than a post, use the profile pic cropper; to crop many posts at once, the batch cropper.
Instagram feed posts come in three shapes. 1:1 (1080×1080) is the classic square — the safest, most consistent option for a grid. 4:5 portrait (1080×1350) is taller, so it occupies more screen space in the feed and is great for single subjects. 1.91:1 landscape works for wide scenes but shows smallest. For a carousel, every slide should share one ratio so the set swipes cleanly without odd cropping. This page locks to 1:1 by default; switch ratios if you prefer portrait. Whatever you choose, cropping to a supported shape first stops Instagram from trimming faces or text when you upload.
A profile grid looks best when posts share a shape and a visual style, so the thumbnails line up into neat rows. Decide on 1:1 or 4:5 and stick with it, center your subject with a little margin, and export JPG for photos or PNG for graphics and text. Common export sizes are 1080×1080 for square and 1080×1350 for portrait. If you are preparing many posts at once, the batch cropper applies one crop to a whole set, and the 1:1 cropper handles any other square job. For a round profile picture rather than a post, use the profile pic cropper.
The Instagram Post Cropper is free to use, with no watermark, no account and no upload. The whole tool runs in your browser on the HTML canvas, which means your images are processed on your own device and never sent anywhere — it is fast, completely private, and keeps working offline once the page has loaded. It behaves the same on Windows, macOS, Android and iPhone, with a crop box you can drag with a mouse or your finger, and you can crop as many images as you like in one sitting without reloading. Export to PNG or WebP to preserve transparency, or JPG when you want the smallest possible photo file. The crop frame is locked to the right shape, so every result is consistent without manual measuring.
Drop it in — the frame is locked to 1:1.
Position the crop; type 1080×1080 for the exact size.
Export as JPG or PNG and post it to Instagram.
1080×1080 for a 1:1 square, or 1080×1350 for 4:5 portrait.
1:1 is the most reliable; 4:5 gives more vertical space. This tool defaults to 1:1.
Not if you crop to a supported ratio first — that is exactly what this prevents.
No. Everything happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
For avatars use the profile pic cropper; this page is for square feed posts.
