A wide header, thoughtfully framed
Make a 1500 × 500 header image with a 3:1 ratio. A header is shallow compared with a normal photograph, so a centered crop can accidentally remove your subject.
Get a better result
Move the crop vertically to choose the right strip of the original. Leave generous spacing around branding and account for the profile-photo overlap. Check the uploaded header on the destination platform.
A quick workflow
- Choose an original image with enough detail for your destination.
- Review the preset. Use Fit to retain the whole image or Fill to crop the edges.
- Pick the file format and quality, process, then compare the result before downloading.
Continue this workflow with Image resizer, Image cropper, Instagram post resizer. Browse the Resize tools to compare other options.

Presets are practical starting canvases, not promises of platform acceptance. Supported sizes, crops and upload limits can vary. Review the destination’s current guidance and upload preview.
