Image Quality & Optimization Tips
Maintain the sharpest visual fidelity when converting or resizing to 1200×630 pixels:
Downscaling vs. Upscaling
Downscaling a high-resolution camera photo (e.g. 3000×4000) to 1200×630 looks crisp because pixel information is condensed. However, enlarging an image smaller than 1200×630 requires mathematical interpolation, which can introduce blurriness or pixelation. Always start from the highest-resolution source file available.
Aspect Ratio Preservation
This dimension uses a 1.91:1 aspect ratio. If your original image has a different ratio, forcing exact dimensions without cropping will stretch or squash subjects. Use our 'Crop & Fill' mode to keep proportions natural.
Choosing the Right Format
- JPG: Best for photographs, headshots, and real-world scenes. Smallest file size.
- WebP: Modern web standard offering 25-35% smaller file sizes than JPG at identical visual quality.
- PNG: Lossless format ideal for logos, screenshots, transparency, and graphics with sharp text.
