If your image is smaller than 1080x1920 pixels, the tool will upscale it and show a warning above the download button. For a lower resolution 9:16 option that avoids upscaling smaller sources, try the 720x1280 preset.

JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or HEIC. Dimensions are already locked to 1080x1920.
Choose Fill, Fit or Stretch
Fill crops to cover, Fit pads with white, Stretch forces the exact size.
Choose JPEG or PNG
JPEG is often smaller. PNG can preserve transparency, except Fit mode adds white padding.

Common reasons people resize to 1080x1920
1080x1920 provides a high-resolution 9:16 canvas for full-screen vertical image assets. It can reduce rework across platforms, but interface overlays and preview crops still need to be checked before publishing.
Instagram Stories and Reels
A practical 9:16 canvas for Story graphics and Reel covers. Preview the Story and cover crop in Instagram before publishing.
TikTok and YouTube Shorts
Use it for vertical cover artwork and other 9:16 image assets. Each platform may crop previews or overlay controls differently.
Snapchat and Facebook Stories
A practical high-resolution 9:16 working size for Story graphics. Check each app's current preview and interface areas.
Vertical video thumbnails and covers
Use as a static cover image or thumbnail for vertical video content before publishing.
Need other Instagram sizes too? The Resize for Instagram page covers feed posts, square format and profile pictures alongside the Story and Reel size.
A 9:16 canvas matches the shape of a phone held vertically, so it is a practical starting point for Story graphics and vertical covers. The exported file is still a static image. This tool does not create, edit or encode video.
Platform requirements and previews are not identical. An app may accept a 9:16 image but show a different crop in a profile grid, cover preview or feed placement. Treat 1080x1920 as a high-resolution working canvas, then inspect the final preview in the app where the image will appear.
A file can fill the 1080x1920 canvas perfectly while the platform's interface still covers part of it. Usernames, captions, navigation and engagement controls can appear at the top, bottom or sides. Their positions can also vary by placement and device.
There is no single cross-platform pixel safe zone. Keep faces, text overlays and calls to action comfortably away from every edge, with extra room around areas likely to hold captions or controls. Let backgrounds extend to the canvas edges, then use the destination app's preview to confirm that essential content remains visible.
If your source image is already roughly vertical, Fill mode works well. It scales the image up to fill the 1080x1920 canvas and crops anything that extends beyond the edges, centering the crop automatically. For a portrait photo taken on a phone, this usually means a small amount of the top and bottom gets cropped, which is generally fine.
If your source image is horizontal, like a landscape photo or a screenshot from a desktop website, Fill mode will crop heavily and may cut out important parts of the image. In that case, Fit mode is the better choice. It scales the image to fit within the 1080x1920 frame and adds padding to fill the remaining space. The padding defaults to white. If you want a different background color behind your horizontal image in a vertical frame, you'll need an editor with canvas controls rather than a simple resize tool.
Using Fill mode on a horizontal source image
Fill crops aggressively to cover a vertical frame, which can cut out important parts of a landscape photo or desktop screenshot. Switch to Fit mode for horizontal sources instead.
Placing text or faces too close to the top or bottom edges
Platform interfaces place usernames, captions and controls in different areas. Keep important content away from every edge and preview the final placement in the destination app.
Expecting a transparent background from Fit mode
Fit always fills padding with solid white, even for PNG output. If you need real transparency around a horizontal image, a canvas-based editor is needed instead.
Upscaling a small image by a large amount
Going from something like 480x854 to 1080x1920 asks the tool to invent detail that was never in the original. Start from the highest resolution version you have, or try the 720x1280 preset instead.
Assuming you'll get a WebP or AVIF file
Output on this page is JPEG or PNG only. Convert the downloaded file afterward if you specifically need WebP or AVIF.
1080x1920 pixels creates a high-resolution 9:16 canvas commonly used for full-screen vertical content. It is a useful working size for Story graphics and vertical video covers, but each platform can add interface overlays or crop previews differently. Check the destination app before publishing.
The tool upscales it to 1080x1920 and shows a warning above the download button once the result is ready. For vertical video covers and Story graphics, upscaling a low-resolution photo can look soft on a full-screen phone display. For the sharpest result, start with a source image that is at least 1080 pixels wide, or try the 720x1280 preset, which needs a smaller source to avoid upscaling.
Exactly 1080x1920. The width and height are locked to this page's preset, so whichever mode you choose, Fill, Fit or Stretch, the output canvas is always precisely 1080 by 1920 pixels.
There is no single safe zone that guarantees visibility across every platform, placement and device. Keep important text, faces and calls to action away from all edges, especially areas used for captions and controls, then preview the image in the destination app before publishing.
Fill is the default and works well if your source is already roughly vertical, it scales up to cover the frame and crops evenly from the edges, no padding, no distortion. Fit is better for horizontal sources like a landscape photo or a desktop screenshot, since Fill would crop too aggressively, Fit scales to fit inside the frame and adds white padding instead. Stretch forces the exact 1080x1920 size by distorting the image and almost always looks wrong for photos.
Not with Fit mode here, it always fills the padding with solid white, even when PNG output is selected. If you need a transparent background behind a horizontal image placed on a vertical canvas, you'll need an editor with canvas controls rather than this resize tool.
You can upload JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or HEIC. The output is JPEG or PNG only, there's no WebP or AVIF export on this page. If you need a smaller WebP or AVIF file for a video cover afterward, convert the downloaded PNG or JPEG separately.
No. The image is decoded to raw pixels and re-encoded during resizing, so EXIF metadata, including GPS location, is not carried over to the 1080x1920 output file.
No. Resizing runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your image is never sent anywhere.
This page resizes one image at a time. If you're preparing a batch of Stories or Reels covers, you'll need to run each image through separately here.
The quality slider defaults to 85, a good balance for most Story and Reel covers. Drag it lower for a smaller file, higher if the image will be scrutinized closely. PNG output has no quality slider, since it's always encoded losslessly.
Shrinking a larger image down to 1080x1920 rarely causes visible quality loss. Enlarging a smaller image up to 1080x1920 can soften it, since the tool has to interpolate pixels that were never in the original.
