AI-Powered Image Resizing: Fixing Twitter Cropping Issues

Have you ever needed to resize an image without losing important details? I tested several AI tools to expand and crop an image for a Twitter background, and Getimg.ai Resizer delivered the best results. Here’s how it worked for me…

AI-Powered Image Resizing: Fixing Twitter Cropping Issues
Let's use AI to expand this image

The Problem

I had a 16:9 image that looked great, but when I uploaded it as a Twitter background, the platform cropped out critical parts of my design. I needed a 1500x500 version that preserved the full image composition.

The twitter background image size is awkward, and cropping it too much was not ideal

The Solution

I could have asked a designer to create a new version or even done it myself in Illustrator, but that would have taken time. Instead, I wanted an AI-powered solution to handle the problem effortlessly.

Why I Chose Getimg.ai Resizer

I uploaded my image to Getimg.ai and used its generative expand feature. This AI-powered tool extended my image naturally, filling in missing areas while maintaining a seamless, visually appealing result.

I tested several other AI resizing tools along the way, but they didn’t do the job well. I won’t name them (no need for trash talk), but Getimg.ai delivered the best results.

Before & After

Original 16:9 Image:

My original image is 16:9

AI-Generated 1500x500 Image:

Technically this is a 2.35:1 ratio, but it gets us much closer than we were before...

The goal is to extend the image to sides
Not perfect... but close enough!
I'm much happier with the end result

While Getimg.ai did an excellent job, my designer indeed would have done a better job. I also wish it had an option to specify exact custom dimensions like 1500x500 directly. Maybe the paid version offers that feature?

All things considered, this was quick and easy, and I will reach for this tool again. I am very, very happy with the result (especially compared to some other results I had with other tools).
