Crop a photo to YouTube Shorts size
Shorts use the same 1080x1920 vertical frame. Building the cover at exactly that size stops it being scaled up or trimmed. If the original is not tall enough, extend the canvas and fill the difference with a background.

Worth knowing at this size
- Keep title text out of the bottom 20 percent. Description and channel details sit there.
- A square original gains 420px of background top and bottom. Sampling the colour from the photo edge makes the join disappear.

Questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. From the moment you pick a file until you save it, everything happens in this tab. Disconnect from the internet and the editor still works.
Does asking for a bigger size ruin the quality?
Only if you use Fill, which scales the photo up. Fit inside and Crop leave the original untouched and add background around it, so nothing softens.
My iPhone photo (HEIC) will not open
Browsers cannot read HEIC. Set your camera format to Most Compatible in iPhone settings, or convert to JPG when sharing the photo.
Can I overlay a Reels or Shorts interface frame?
We do not ship frames that copy an app's interface. Instead there is a safe area guide that marks in grey where buttons and captions sit. The guide is never part of the saved file.
Is it free?
Yes. No account, no watermark. Ads on the page cover the running costs.
