Fit a whole photo in a square

Wide and tall photos get cut off by apps that want a square. Add padding instead, filled with a soft blur of the photo or a solid color, and keep every pixel.

Free, no sign-up. Your photo stays on your device. Try it on a sample photo

  3. Select Add padding, then save from Export.

Good to know

  • Story 9:16 fits a landscape photo into an Instagram or WhatsApp story without cutting it.
  • A blurred fill picks up the photo's own colors, so it always matches.
  • Resize to 1080 px afterward for the size Instagram expects.
