Social media presets
Social Media Presets turns any photo into a JPG at the exact size a platform expects, in one step. It scales the photo to fill the frame, crops the edges evenly from the centre, and saves it at a tuned quality.

On the dashboard, select Social Media Presets.
Under Platform, choose Instagram, YouTube, TikTok or Facebook.
Under Preset, choose the format. Each button shows its size, for example Thumbnail · 1280 × 720.
The line under the buttons says exactly what you will get.
Add one or more images (JPG, PNG, WEBP, BMP, GIF or TIFF).
Select Export for followed by the platform, for example Export for YouTube.
Each result is a JPG named after the original plus the platform and preset, for example photo_youtube-thumbnail.jpg. Its row shows the final size and quality.

Tips
- Put the subject near the middle of the photo. The crop always keeps the centre, so anything near the edges of a photo with a very different shape may be cut off.
- Small photos are enlarged to fill the frame and may look soft. Start from a photo at least as large as the preset.
- Transparent areas in a PNG become white, because the result is a JPG.
