Dimensions guides and workflows

Published Pixlery guides and step-by-step workflows for this topic.

Guide

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.

Guide

How 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.

Guide

How 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.

Guide

Social 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.

Guide

YouTube 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.

Guide

LinkedIn 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.

Guide

Passport 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.

Guide

How 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.

Guide

Photo 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.

Guide

Printable 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.

Workflow

Prepare 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.

Workflow

Make 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.

Workflow

Make a photo strip for Instagram Stories

Turn a few event, travel, or friend photos into one vertical strip that is easy to share in Stories without uploading the originals.

Workflow

How 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.
