Need help with cover image sizing

[Alina]

Tips on converting a regular pic taken on my iPhone to 1300px x 225px? I want to add a cover image to my profile, but when I resize it to the recommended 1300px x 225px, it looks comically squished.

Thanks.

Zoom in on the pic on your phone then save it and use it. Zooming it won’t change the size. I’d you find s pic on your phone take a screen shot first then do it.

Did it work?

Is everyone using a phone? I use my computer and never have to do editing outside the website. Another ideal to try. Editing on a phone takes longer for me, but never have the issue with pics stretching if your phone has a photo edit or editor button.

Anyone needing help, feel free to reach out to me as well.

You can’t change a picture with a different proportion and size and expect it to look right, if your original picture is square and you change it to more of a rectangle it will look odd.
You need to see what the original image proportion and size and you may have reduce to a smaller size then crop it to get proportion right, most time people take pictures on Iphones that are really big and not proportioned wide and low height.

@manmachine is correct. I resize on desktop using https://ezgif.com/apng-maker with usually no issues. I also recommend looking for a phone wallpaper already sized to the general dimensions.
