Key Concepts in Image Resizing

  • Aspect Ratio: The proportional relationship between image width and height. For example, 16:9 widescreen or 1:1 square. Keeping the aspect ratio locked prevents stretching.
  • Interpolation: The mathematical algorithm used to resample pixels. ILoveJPG uses high-quality bicubic interpolation for smooth gradients and crisp outlines.

Standard Image Sizes for Social Media

  • Instagram Post: 1080 x 1080 px (1:1) or 1080 x 1350 px (4:5)
  • Instagram / TikTok Stories: 1080 x 1920 px (9:16)
  • YouTube Thumbnail: 1280 x 720 px (16:9)
  • Full HD Desktop: 1920 x 1080 px
