Crop an Image to 9:16
Get a vertical 9:16 crop for Stories, Reels and TikTok.
9:16 is a phone screen held upright: the shape of Stories, Reels, TikTok and Shorts, and of every phone wallpaper.
A landscape photo loses most of its width at this shape, so this works best with a single subject. Portrait phone photos lose only a little from the top and bottom.
For a wallpaper, leave the top quarter calm: the clock and notifications will sit there.
How to use it
- Drop in your photo.
- Slide the tall 9:16 box over your subject.
- Crop and download.
Frequently asked questions
What pixel size is 9:16?
1080 × 1920 is the standard for Stories and Reels. The Instagram Story resize preset crops and resizes to that exact size.
Can I use this for a phone wallpaper?
Yes. Most phones are close to 9:16 or slightly taller (9:19.5), and the system crops the small difference.
Is there a video version?
Yes, the TikTok/Reels video resizer does the same for clips.
