FileFixer AI how-to
How to crop an image for Instagram
Instagram posts and stories use fixed ratios, so photos often need cropping before upload. FileFixer AI supports common crop ratios such as 1:1 square, 4:5 portrait, 9:16 story or reel, and 16:9 landscape. Upload your image, preview the crop area, adjust zoom, then export a ready-to-use file.
