Platform Image Tools

Prepare banners, covers, thumbnails, emoji, and other images for specific platforms.

CHOOSING A TOOL

Resize, crop, compress, or check DPI?

These jobs sound similar, but they change different parts of an image. Pick the operation based on what actually needs to change.

Tip: A higher DPI number does not create missing image detail. For print quality, pixel dimensions and intended physical size matter together.

PRACTICAL WORKFLOWS

Common image workflows

Use only the steps your job needs. Compression, mirroring, or platform sizing are optional—not universal requirements.

Prepare an image for the web

  1. Crop unwanted space.
  2. Resize to the display dimensions you need.
  3. Compress only if the file is still too large.
QUESTIONS

Image Tools FAQ

Should I resize or compress an image first?+

If the pixel dimensions are much larger than you need, resize first. Then compress the resized result if the file is still too large. Cropping can come before resizing when you also need to change the framing.

What is the difference between image size and DPI?+

Image size usually refers to pixel dimensions such as 3000 × 2000 px. DPI is resolution metadata used when mapping those pixels to a physical print size. DPI alone does not create extra detail.

Can resizing make a low-resolution image sharper?+

Resizing can change the output dimensions, but enlarging a small source does not restore detail that was never captured. Use the source pixel dimensions and the final viewing or print size to judge whether enlargement is practical.

Which tool should I use for YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Reddit images?+

Use the Platform Image Tools section when the target service has its own canvas, crop, safe-area, or file-size requirements. Those tools are more task-specific than a general resizer.

Do all Motricialy image tools process files the same way?+

No. Processing details can vary by tool and feature. Check the individual tool page for its supported formats, limits, and whether processing happens locally in the browser.
