Published Pixlery guides and step-by-step workflows for this topic.
Instagram image sizes and ratios
Instagram currently keeps photos between 1.91:1 and 3:4 when the width is within its supported range. Prepare each placement separately instead of relying on the upload crop.
GuideHow to add a white border to a photo without cropping
Use an outside border when every source pixel must remain visible. Use a target canvas when the finished file also needs a specific shape, such as square or 4:5.
GuideHow to rotate an image without cropping the corners
A 90° turn is simple: width and height swap. At any other angle, keeping every corner requires a larger canvas or a smaller image.
GuideSocial media image sizes: a current quick index
Treat each number as a placement-specific export, not a universal social image. Profile backgrounds, photo posts, link previews, thumbnails, and Page covers have different jobs.
GuideYouTube thumbnail size and channel banner guide
YouTube's current English help recommends a 3840 × 2160 custom thumbnail in 16:9. Channel art is a separate 2560 × 1440 asset with a much narrower cross-device safe area.
GuideLinkedIn image sizes for profiles, Pages, posts, and links
LinkedIn has no single 'banner size.' A personal background, company Page cover, ordinary photo post, and website link preview are separate placements.
GuidePassport and ID photo sizes explained
Countries and agencies use different pixel, millimeter, and inch requirements. Pixlery covers common sizes at 300 DPI—never assume one export fits every application.
GuideHow to print a photo strip at home
Export a high-resolution PNG or JPG from Photo Strip Maker, print at 100% scale on photo paper or cardstock, then trim along the gaps between frames—not through faces.
GuidePhoto strip layout ideas for stories and prints
Match the strip to the moment: classic vertical columns for prints, Story strip for phones, and horizontal rows for landscapes or group sequences.
GuidePrintable photo booth strip sizes and cut guide
Online Photo Booth exports a print sheet PNG—not just the strip file—so you can fit one or several copies on standard photo paper. This guide covers booth print layouts; Photo Strip Maker printing is a separate path.
GuideWhy a round profile picture is still a square file
Discord, WhatsApp, and Instagram draw a circle over your profile photo. The file you give them is still a square. A circle crop decides which part of the photo sits inside that circle and can leave the corners transparent. A normal crop only changes the rectangle.
WorkflowPrepare e-commerce product images
Marketplace listings need clean backgrounds, consistent framing, and fast-loading files. This workflow fits single-SKU photos and small batches before upload.
WorkflowMake a passport photo at home
You do not need a studio booth for a usable starting point. This workflow keeps capture, editing, and export steps explicit so you can compare against your agency’s checklist.
WorkflowMake an Instagram Story photo strip from photos you already have
If the photos are already on your phone, you can arrange a vertical 9:16 strip and download it in the browser. Start in the tool below rather than collecting another tutorial.
WorkflowHow to batch process images for the web
Use one local workflow to resize a group of website images, choose a practical format, check real file sizes, and export predictable names before uploading.
