Fitting a photo into 851 × 315 px

Resizing to a fixed width and height only gives a clean result when the photo has the same shape as the target. A shape mismatch has two outcomes: the picture is stretched, or part of it is cropped. Crop first, then resize, so you decide what is cut. This is how much of each common photo would be lost to fill 2.7:1:

Starting photoCropped away to fill the shape
Phone photo (4000 × 3000, 4:3)About 51% of the image
DSLR photo (6000 × 4000, 3:2)About 44% of the image
Video frame (1920 × 1080, 16:9)About 34% of the image
Portrait phone photo (3000 × 4000, 3:4)About 72% of the image

Size, quality and file weight

268,065 pixels saved as a JPG at web quality typically weigh about 26.18 KB to 78.53 KB, depending on how much detail the picture contains. Flat graphics and screenshots saved as PNG compress very well when colors are simple, and poorly when they contain photographic gradients.

For photos, JPG or WebP are good choices; for logos, text or transparency, PNG keeps edges clean.

How large can it be printed?

These figures follow from the pixel count: print size = pixels ÷ DPI. Going above the 300 DPI row gives no visible benefit; going below it looks softer.

About the Facebook preset

ResizeAny sets the output to 851 × 315 px and nothing else. It does not know which placement or account type you are using, and Facebook may crop, recompress or re-scale an upload on its side. Keep important content away from the edges, and check Facebook's current guidelines for the placement you are working on.
