Will the tool stretch my image?

No. Crop to fill preserves proportions and trims excess edges. Fit whole image preserves the complete picture and adds padding.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Image decoding, cropping, resizing, previewing, and export happen locally in your browser.

Do social media image sizes change?

They can. PixGauge provides useful common presets, but you should check the destination's current requirements for important or paid campaigns.

CROP OR FIT

Change the frame without stretching the picture

Crop to fill covers the entire output and trims whichever edges do not match the chosen shape. Use the position control to protect the most important part of the picture.

Fit whole image keeps every part of the source and fills the remaining space with your chosen padding color.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Social image FAQ

Will PixGauge stretch my image?

No. Both crop and fit modes preserve the source proportions. Crop mode trims edges; fit mode adds padding.

Which format should I choose?

JPG is a dependable default for photos. PNG is useful for sharp graphics or transparency in the source, although this tool fills any added padding with a color. WebP is efficient for websites but is not accepted by every publishing service.

Are the presets guaranteed for every platform?

No. They are useful common dimensions, but publishing services can change their layouts and requirements. Confirm current guidance when exact compliance matters.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The source file and finished image stay in your browser. PixGauge does not receive either file.
