When it comes to reducing file size, you have several approaches available. The key is finding the right balance between size reduction and image quality. Here's what you need to know:
Cropping for Perfect Composition
One of the most effective ways to reduce file size while maintaining quality is through smart cropping. Using Facetune's adjust feature, you can easily crop images with precision. Choose from various preset ratios like:
- Square (1:1) for classic social media posts
- iPhone (3:4) for perfect mobile display
- Instagram Portrait (4:5) for optimal feed presence
- Full (9:16) for Stories and vertical content
- Wide (16:9) for landscape and desktop backgrounds
- Instagram Landscape (5:4) for horizontal posts
Want something more specific? The free crop option lets you customize your dimensions exactly how you want them.
