Overview

Bulk Images Resize for Instagram allows you to quickly prepare up to 10 images at once for various Instagram formats, including stories, feed posts, reels covers, and profile photos. By selecting preset aspect ratios and configuring fit methods like cover cropping or blurred backgrounds, you can optimize your JPEG, PNG, or WebP images for social media without manual editing.

When to Use

  • •When preparing a batch of photos for an Instagram carousel post and you need them all resized to a uniform square or portrait aspect ratio.
  • •When converting landscape photos into vertical 9:16 stories or reels covers without cropping out important details, using a blurred background fit.
  • •When updating your brand's profile picture or publishing multiple feed posts and wanting to ensure they meet Instagram's exact dimension guidelines.

How It Works

  • •Upload up to 10 image files in JPEG, PNG, or WebP format.
  • •Select your target Instagram content type, such as Feed Post, Stories, or Reels Cover, to automatically apply the correct dimensions.
  • •Choose your fit method (like cover or contain with a blurred background), set the output format and quality, and click process to download the resized images.

Use Cases

Batch resizing a series of landscape travel photos into 9:16 vertical images with blurred backgrounds for Instagram Stories.
Preparing a 10-image carousel post by converting mixed-aspect-ratio product photos into uniform 1080x1080 square JPEGs.
Resizing a high-resolution portrait photo to exactly 1080x1350 for a vertical feed post while optimizing file size and quality.

Examples

1. Preparing a 10-Photo Carousel Post

Social Media Manager
Background
A social media manager needs to upload a carousel post featuring 10 different product shots, but the original photos have varying aspect ratios and file sizes.
Problem
Instagram carousels require all images to share the same aspect ratio, and manually cropping each photo in editing software takes too much time.
How to Use
Upload all 10 product images, select 'Carousel Posts (1080×1080, 1:1)' as the content type, set the fit method to 'cover', and choose JPEG output at 85% quality.
Example Config
Content Type: Carousel Posts, Fit Method: Cover, Output Format: JPEG, Quality: 85
Outcome
Ten perfectly cropped 1080x1080 square JPEG images ready for immediate upload as a cohesive Instagram carousel.

2. Converting Landscape Photos for Stories

Travel Blogger
Background
A travel blogger wants to share horizontal landscape photos on their Instagram Stories without cropping out the sides of the scenery.
Problem
Directly uploading landscape photos to Stories results in large blank black bars on the top and bottom, which looks unprofessional.
How to Use
Upload the landscape images, select 'Stories (1080×1920, 9:16)' as the content type, choose the 'contain' fit method, and enable 'Blur Background' with a blur strength of 25.
Example Config
Content Type: Stories, Fit Method: Contain, Blur Background: True, Blur Sigma: 25
Outcome
The landscape photos are centered within a 9:16 frame, with the empty top and bottom areas filled by an aesthetically pleasing blurred version of the original photo.
