How to Resize Your Image to 2:3 Ratio
📸 Starting with a Square Image?
Square images (like Instagram photos) have a 1:1 ratio. When resized to 2:3, the tool will either crop the sides or add space. We recommend letting the tool crop it slightly—just make sure your face or main subject is centered so nothing important gets cut off.
Choose one of the options below to resize:
Option 1: Use Your Computer's Built-In Tools
💻 For Mac:
- Right-click on your photo and select Open With > Preview.
- Click Tools in the menu bar, then select Adjust Size.
- Make sure "Scale proportionally" is checked.
- Enter a height of 900 pixels (the width will auto-adjust to 600 pixels).
- Click OK.
- Click File > Export As and save as JPG or PNG.
🪟 For Windows:
- Right-click on your photo and select Open with > Paint.
- Click the Resize button in the Home tab.
- Make sure "Maintain aspect ratio" is checked, then change the unit to Pixels.
