Who has time to memorize the exact aspect ratios of every platform? Instagram and Facebook alone have a variety of aspect ratios within their platforms. An Instagram story and an Instagram post require different ratios, for instance. A Facebook cover photo and a Facebook profile picture also have different aspect ratios. It\u2019s hard to keep up. But you don\u2019t have to. Simply refer to this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/blog\/post\/profile-pictures\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">profile picture size cheat sheet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for more information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, Picsart takes all the second-guessing out of social media cropping. The app has a variety of ready-made ratios for each platform. They will automatically crop your photo without affecting picture resolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_social_media_crops\">The social media crops<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-212743\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2022\/08\/CR4083_Blog_SMcrop_1200x800-780x520.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2022\/08\/CR4083_Blog_SMcrop_1200x800-780x520.png 780w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2022\/08\/CR4083_Blog_SMcrop_1200x800-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2022\/08\/CR4083_Blog_SMcrop_1200x800.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these easy steps to perfectly crop your photos for social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Open the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.app.link\/4pv7HdD7S9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picsart app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and tap on the plus sign at the bottom of your screen.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Upload the image you\u2019d like to crop (or select any image from the library).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tap the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tools<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> icon.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Select the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crop <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tool.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>5. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tap on any of the ratio required for the social platform you\u2019re posting to.
