How to use the tool
- Add a photo: drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC or JFIF, or choose one from your device.
- Pick a size. Drag and zoom the crop box until the part you want sits inside it.
- Download a JPG (the default) or a PNG, drawn at the exact width and height you picked. Nothing is uploaded.
What the size means
Instagram's Help Center publishes no pixel size for organic Stories. No help.instagram.com page for it was found on 21 October 2026. This page says so rather than inventing a number.
The closest official number is Meta's ad spec "Design requirements for Instagram Stories ads", read 21 October 2026: recommended resolution 1080 x 1920, minimum 600 x 1067. The crop preset is 1080 x 1920, a 9:16 frame, labelled Meta's recommended size for Stories ads.
Questions
Is it private?
Yes. The crop runs in your browser. No file is sent to creavio or anyone else, and nothing is stored after you close the tab. The HEIC decoder downloads once, the first time you add a HEIC photo.
Which formats can I use?
JPG, JPEG, JFIF, PNG, WebP, AVIF and HEIC. SVG files are not accepted. The page uses the same decoders as the converters, including the HEIC decoder.
Is 1080 x 1920 an Instagram Story size?
It is Meta's recommended size for Stories ads. Instagram publishes no pixel size for organic Stories. The page labels the preset that way.
How many files can I crop at once?
One photo at a time. Clear it to add another. A file that is too large is not added.
Which browsers does it work in?
Current versions of Chrome and Safari. It uses only features built into the browser, so there is nothing to install.
HEIC decoding uses heic-to and libheif, free software licensed under the GNU LGPL 3.0. They are included unmodified as a separate file, loaded only when you add a HEIC photo. The source code is at the links above.
