What this does
Three separate jobs — crop to square, convert format, strip metadata — done as one automatic step instead of running an image through three different tools. The result is a 1080 × 1080 JPG, cropped from the center and privacy-clean, ready to upload.
Instagram's own recommended size
1080 × 1080 — the same size Bacon's Instagram Post Maker starts a new design at.

Use the Social Media Image Cropper to control exactly what's kept, then run the result through here.
Common questions
What does this actually do?
Center-crops to a 1080 × 1080 square, converts to JPG, and strips metadata — automatically.
Why a square crop?
1080 × 1080 is Instagram's own long-standing recommended feed size.
Why JPG?
Instagram re-compresses every upload to JPEG anyway — starting high-quality avoids extra artifacts.
Can I control the crop position?
Use the Social Media Image Cropper first for a specific crop, then run the result through here.
