Crop images to a 1.91:1 social share frame
The 1.91:1 aspect ratio is the global standard for social media link sharing and Open Graph (OG) meta tags. Pre-cropping your images to this exact landscape ratio ensures they look sharp and professional when shared across various messaging apps and platforms.
This tool allows you to crop images to 1.91:1 instantly in your browser, maintaining full control over the preview composition.
Everything runs locally on your device, ensuring maximum speed and complete privacy.
Why the 1.91:1 format is standard

It is commonly used for:
- Facebook link sharing cards
- LinkedIn article and website link previews
- Twitter/X large image summary cards
- Open Graph (og:image) header tags
- Instagram horizontal feed posts and ads
