Resize an image to 1:1 — the ratio that survives every crop

Square is the safest image you can make, because a square crop window is the narrowest thing any feed will apply. Instagram's organic window runs 1.91:1 to 3:4 — a height/width range of 0.52 to 1.333 — and 1:1 sits at exactly 1.0 inside it, so a square post keeps its framing. YouTube states 1:1 outright for podcast playlist thumbnails: “upload a thumbnail with an aspect ratio of 1:1 instead of 16:9”, which makes it the one ratio the video platform asks for by name. In commerce, square is the default because a catalog grid needs uniform tiles: Skwish already has dimension pages for 1500x1500 and 2000x2000 precisely because marketplace grids want square. At a 1080 width a square is 1080 tall; at 2000 it is 2000. The trap is that square looks easy and is not: a 3:2 photo cropped to square loses a third of its width, and the subject is usually near an edge. Crop deliberately, then resize down to the width your grid actually renders.

Square is the safe ratio, not the free one

Use these before you upload or share the page.

YouTube names 1:1 for podcast playlist thumbnails and 16:9 for video thumbnails. Shorts use 9:16.

1080x1080 is the standard feed square. 1500x1500 and 2000x2000 are catalog and marketplace grids.

Cropping a 3:2 photo to 1:1 removes a third of the width. Check where the subject sits before you crop.

Skwish preserves the source ratio when it resizes, so a non-square image will not become square — crop it first.
