如果您使用社交媒体,您就会知道正确裁剪、编辑并上传漂亮的照片到您的Facebook、Google+ and Twitter accounts是一项多么艰巨的任务。每个网站对图片的大小都有不同的要求,其中大多数网站都有多张图片,例如Facebook,带有封面照片(cover photo)和个人资料照片。
您始终可以上传任何内容并使用该特定站点上的基本裁剪工具将您的图像放入框中,但是如果您想创建一些独特的甚至是专业外观的东西,您必须多计划一下。幸运的是,有一些在线工具可以帮助您快速创建自定义标题/个人资料图片,而无需Photoshop。
我将按社交媒体网站细分工具列表。还有一些适用于多个社交媒体网站的工具。
多合一图像调整器
AP Social Media Image Maker是一款最贴心的工具,可以为每个可能的社交媒体网站创建适合每种可能图像尺寸的完美图像。(image size)它拥有从Facebook到 YouTube 到LinkedIn到 Tumblr 到Google+ and Twitter的所有内容。只需(Just)向下滚动,您甚至会得到一个漂亮的小图表,显示它在网站上指的是哪张图片。
网站上的编辑工具简直太棒了,整个过程完全免费,无需登录或任何其他要求。它是迄今为止最好的工具,因为它不像所有其他网站那样有大量的广告。
Social Image Resizer 工具(Social Image Resizer tool )是来自Internet Marketing Ninjas的免费酷炫工具。选择您的文件并单击上传(file and click Upload)开始。然后只需在“选择尺寸(Choose a size)”旁边的框内单击,您将获得社交媒体网站的下拉列表。
如您所见,您可以从不同的选项中快速选择,例如Facebook 封面(Facebook cover)照片、Facebook 个人资料(Facebook profile)图片、Google+ icon、照片条或封面照片(photostrip or cover photo)、Twitter 图标或标题图片(Twitter icon or header image)以及您也可以在其他网站上使用的几个预定义尺寸。如果您需要其他网站(如Medium(Medium)等)的不同尺寸,您也可以选择自己的尺寸。
单击完成编辑(Done editing),然后单击下载(Download)直接下载图像,或者您可以输入电子邮件地址(email address)并将其发送到那里。相当(Pretty)漂亮!
Facebook 照片工具
TimelineCoverBanner是一个免费的在线工具(online tool),用于为Facebook快速创建封面横幅(cover banner)。您可以使用它来创建自定义的酷炫(custom cool-looking)Facebook 个人资料(Facebook profile),该个人资料将您的个人资料图片和封面照片(cover photo)连接起来,如下所示:
想像那样酷吗?好吧,您需要一些帮助才能使其尺寸和裁剪完美。这就是您可以使用此工具的目的。如果(t happen)您自己没有任何有用的东西,它也可以帮助您找到背景。但是,如果您已经有图像并且只想进行编辑,则可以使用精简编辑器(lite editor)或高级(advanced one)编辑器。高级编辑器具有大量功能来编辑图像、应用效果、添加文本等等。请注意,当您下载图像时,它不会包含任何水印。
Timeline Cover Photo Maker 是另一个免费的在线工具(online tool),具有一套很好的编辑工具和一系列效果。它也不会在您的最终图片中添加任何水印,并且不需要(t require)您登录或类似的东西。您在网上看到的一些免费工具会强制您登录您的Facebook 帐户(Facebook account),以便他们可以为您更新您的封面照片(cover photo),我肯定不喜欢。
Easy Cover Maker 没有任何效果或许多编辑工具,但它做了其他网站没有的一件非常酷的事情:上传照片,调整它的大小和位置(size and position),它还会同时更新个人资料图片(profile pic). 一旦你把它放在你想要的地方,你就可以分别下载个人资料照片和封面照片(profile pic and cover photo),它会为你剪裁。
实际上,我最常使用此工具,因为您可以只使用一张图像并让该工具为您剪切它。确保拖动框的一个角以展开图像。默认情况下,当它插入图片时,即使分辨率更高,它也会将其放入框内。所以要填满整个盒子,你需要把它从角落里拖出来。
该工具的另一个很酷的方面是您可以拥有多个图层。你不能添加透明度和做所有花哨的Photoshop 东西(Photoshop stuff),但至少你可以轻松地添加多张照片。
Twitter 标题/背景工具
使用Twitter,您可以担心更多图像。你有你的个人资料图片(profile pic),然后你有一个标题图片(header image),然后你有一个背景,你也可以改变。这可能会导致一些非常有创意的图像使用。
让所有这些图像在Twitter中同步变得更加困难。然而,大多数人不会费心(t bother)去尝试创建一个单一的流动图像,因为这有点复杂,可能不值得浪费那么多时间。然而,一个好的标题图片(header image)和一个好的背景可以让你的Twitter 个人资料(Twitter profile)看起来更有趣。以下是您可以使用的一些工具。
Header Cover是一个相当简单的工具,可以让您从空白背景开始,或者让(background or lets)您从他们的收藏中挑选。使用此工具,您必须分别上传标题图片(header image)和个人资料图片(profile pic)。由于某种原因,您无法真正调整背景的大小,这有点烦人。但是,您可以调整缩略图(thumbnail pic)的大小。
此外,您可以只上传背景图片(background pic),然后单击下载图片(Download Pictures)。个人资料图片(profile pic)覆盖的区域中的任何内容都会自动为您切割成单独的图片。如果您不希望图像的该部分作为个人资料图片(profile pic),则可以单击插入照片作为缩略图(Insert photo as thumbnail)并将其放置在个人资料图片部分(pic section)。主要问题是缺少裁剪工具。
Themeleon是Twitter官方支持的免费工具。如果您转到Twitter 设置(Twitter settings)页面上的设计选项卡(Design tab),它实际上有一个指向他们网站的链接,您可以在其中从一堆背景和调色板中进行选择。您必须使用您的Twitter 帐户(Twitter account)登录,但它应该是安全的,因为它是由Twitter本身赞助的。
Free Twitter Designer是用于创建Twitter背景的免费在线工具。(online tool)我上面提到的工具是用于创建Twitter 标题(Twitter header)图像,即包含您的个人信息(bio info)和个人资料图片(profile pic)的部分。背景是这一切的背后。很多(Lots)人使用背景区域(background area)来放置社交媒体信息或链接(info or links)等。
对于Google+ cover图片,您基本上可以使用上述工具之一,因为在线上并没有任何单独的工具仅适用于Google+。这也没有任何意义,因为您已经可以使用相同的工具轻松创建Google+ cover希望(Hopefully)这些工具可以帮助您创建一些独特而有趣的东西来寻找您的社交媒体资料。享受!
8 Tools for Creating Perfectly Sized Images for Social Media Sites
If you use social media, you know what a daunting task it can be to proрerly crop, edit and upload a decent looking photo to your Facebook, Googlе+ and Twitter accounts. Each site has a different requirement for the sіze of the image and most of them have multiple images like Facebook with a cover photo and a profile photo.
You can always just upload anything and use the rudimentary cropping tools on that particular site to fit your image into the box, but if you want to create something unique or even halfway professional looking, you have to plan it out a little more. Luckily, there are some online tools that can help you quickly create custom header/profile pics without needing Photoshop.
I’ll break down the list of tools by social media site. There are also a couple of tools that work for multiple social media sites.
All-in-one Image Resizers
AP Social Media Image Maker is a sweetest tool for creating a perfect image for every possible image size for every possible social media site. It’s got everything from Facebook to YouTube to LinkedIn to Tumblr to Google+ and Twitter. Just scroll down and you even get a nice little diagram showing you exactly which picture it’s referring to on the site.
The editing tools on the site are simply awesome and the whole thing is completely free with no logins or anything else required. It is by far the best tool out there because it doesn’t have tons of ads like all the other sites do.
Social Image Resizer tool is a free cool from Internet Marketing Ninjas. Choose your file and click Upload to get started. Then simply click inside the box next to Choose a size and you’ll get a drop down of social media sites.
As you can see, you can quickly pick from different options like Facebook cover photo, Facebook profile pic, Google+ icon, photostrip or cover photo, Twitter icon or header image and a couple of predefined sizes that you could use on other sites too. You can also pick your own size if you need a different size for another site like Medium, etc.
Click Done editing and then click Download to download the image directly or you can type in an email address and have it sent there. Pretty nifty!
Facebook Photo Tools
TimelineCoverBanner is a free online tool for quickly creating a cover banner for Facebook. You can use it to create that custom cool-looking Facebook profile that connects your profile pic and your cover photo like the one below:
Want to be cool like that? Well, you’ll need some help getting it all perfectly sized and cropped. That’s what you can use this tool for. It also helps you find background too if you don’t happen to have anything useful yourself. However, if you already have images and just want to get to the editing, you can either use the lite editor or the advanced one. The advanced editor has a ton of features to edit the image, apply effects, add text and lots more. Note that when you download the image, it will not contain any watermark.
Timeline Cover Photo Maker is another free online tool with a good set of editing tools and a range of effects. It also does not add any watermark to your final picture and it doesn’t require you to login or anything like that. Some of the free tools you see online force you to log into your Facebook account so that they can update your cover photo for you, which I’m not a fan of for sure.
Easy Cover Maker doesn’t have any effects or many editing tools, but it does one really cool thing that the other sites don’t: upload a photo, adjust it’s size and position and it will also update the profile pic at the same time. Once you have it where you want it, you can then download the profile pic and cover photo separately and it does the cutting for you.
I actually use this tool the most since you can just use one image and let the tool cut it for you. Make sure you drag one of the corners of the box to expand the image. By default, when it inserts the picture, it fits it into the box even if the resolution is much higher. So to fill up the entire box, you need to drag it out from the corners.
Another cool aspect of the tool is that you can have multiple layers. You can’t add transparency and do all that fancy Photoshop stuff, but at least you can add multiple photos easily.
Twitter Header/Background Tools
With Twitter, you have even more images to worry about. You have your profile pic, then you have a header image and then you have a background you can change too. That can lead to some pretty creative uses of images.
It’s even harder getting all those images to sync in Twitter. Most people don’t bother to try to create one single flowing image, though, as that’s a bit complicated and probably not worth wasting that much time. However, a good header image and a good background can go a long way to making your Twitter profile look a lot more interesting. Here are some tools you can use.
Header Cover is a fairly simple tool that lets you either start with a blank background or lets you pick from their collection. Using this tool, you have to upload the header image and the profile pic separately. You can’t really adjust the size of the background for some reason, which is kind of annoying. You can adjust the size of the thumbnail pic, however.
Also, you can just upload a background pic and then click Download Pictures. Whatever is in the area covered by the profile pic will automatically be cut into a separate picture for you. If you don’t want that part of the image as the profile pic, then you can click Insert photo as thumbnail and position that over the profile pic section. The main issue is it’s lack of a cropping tool.
Themeleon is a free tool that is officially supported by Twitter. If you go to Design tab on your Twitter settings page, it actually has a link to their site where you can choose from a bunch backgrounds and color palettes. You’ll have to sign in using your Twitter account, but it should be safe since it’s sponsored by Twitter itself.
Free Twitter Designer is a free online tool for creating Twitter backgrounds. The tool I mentioned above is for creating Twitter header images, which is that section that contains your bio info and your profile pic. The background is what is behind all of that. Lots of people use the background area to put in social media info or links, etc.
For Google+ cover images, you can basically use one of the above-mentioned tools as there aren’t really any separate tools online just for Google+. It really doesn’t make sense either since you can already create Google+ cover easily using the same tools. Hopefully, these tools help you create something unique and interesting looking for your social media profiles. Enjoy!
