Social cover cropper
Crop social cover images to a wide layout.
Crop and resize social cover images to wide layouts such as 16:9. Export JPG, PNG, or WebP locally in your browser with Samurai Pixel.
16:9, JPG, 1600 x 900. This is a wide-cover starting point, not a square-image page.
Keep faces, logos, and text near the center because platforms may crop edges on mobile.
JPG is a practical default for photographic covers; PNG suits text-heavy graphics.
Recommended settings
- Ratio: 16:9 for wide social-cover and header layouts.
- Size: start with 1600 x 900, then replace it with the exact platform requirement.
- Format: JPG for photos, PNG when the cover contains sharp text or logo artwork.
- Check: keep critical content inside the visual center-safe area.
Use when
- Social media cover images.
- Horizontal article or video thumbnails.
- Website banner preparation.
