Social media guides and workflows

Published Pixlery guides and step-by-step workflows for this topic.

Guide

Instagram image sizes and ratios

Instagram currently keeps photos between 1.91:1 and 3:4 when the width is within its supported range. Prepare each placement separately instead of relying on the upload crop.

Guide

How to add a white border to a photo without cropping

Use an outside border when every source pixel must remain visible. Use a target canvas when the finished file also needs a specific shape, such as square or 4:5.

Guide

How to blur a face in a photo for privacy

Use local automatic face detection to suggest editable Blur regions, then review the full frame for missed faces, reflections, and other identifying clues.

Guide

Automatic face blur online: blur or pixelate faces in photos

Pixlery can suggest face regions locally after you click Auto-detect faces. The regions remain editable, so you can review a group photo, switch between Blur and Pixelate, or add manual coverage before exporting.

Guide

Social media image sizes: a current quick index

Treat each number as a placement-specific export, not a universal social image. Profile backgrounds, photo posts, link previews, thumbnails, and Page covers have different jobs.

Guide

YouTube thumbnail size and channel banner guide

YouTube's current English help recommends a 3840 × 2160 custom thumbnail in 16:9. Channel art is a separate 2560 × 1440 asset with a much narrower cross-device safe area.

Guide

LinkedIn image sizes for profiles, Pages, posts, and links

LinkedIn has no single 'banner size.' A personal background, company Page cover, ordinary photo post, and website link preview are separate placements.

Guide

Photo strip vs collage: which should you make?

A photo strip is a fixed-frame memory layout—not a free collage. Use Photo Strip Maker for booth-style strips; use Combine Images when you need custom rows, grids, or stitching.

Guide

Photo strip layout ideas for stories and prints

Match the strip to the moment: classic vertical columns for prints, Story strip for phones, and horizontal rows for landscapes or group sequences.

Guide

Birthday photo booth online: party setup tips

You do not need a rental booth for a kid's party or a small office surprise. Open Online Photo Booth in the browser, pick a Birthday template, and let guests take timed strips while the cake cools.

Guide

Couple photo booth online: date night and friends

A couch, a mirror, or a hotel desk is enough. Online Photo Booth gives you a countdown, decorative templates, and a finished strip you can share or slip into a scrapbook—no app install.

Workflow

Prepare multiple social media images from one source

Choose the placements first, refine each crop separately, then export one ZIP and inspect every platform's final upload preview.

Workflow

Stitch long screenshots together

Tutorial posts, chat logs, and mobile pages often need one tall image. This workflow keeps order, spacing, and file size under control before you share.

Workflow

Make a photo strip for Instagram Stories

Turn a few event, travel, or friend photos into one vertical strip that is easy to share in Stories without uploading the originals.

Workflow

Make a photo booth strip at home

You need a browser, decent light, and about ten minutes. Online Photo Booth handles countdown capture, template framing, and export— including a print sheet when you want physical copies.
