Feature
Turn one generated look into ready-to-post Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok sizes
Social crops takes every generated image in a campaign and center-crops it into ready-to-post platform sizes — an Instagram pack (1:1 feed + 9:16 story), a Facebook pack (1:1 post + 16:9 cover), and a TikTok pack (9:16). It runs in your browser and downloads each file individually.

What can Social Crops do?
Instagram Pack
A 1:1 square feed crop and a 9:16 story crop from the same generated image.
Facebook Pack
A 1:1 square post crop and a 16:9 cover crop.
TikTok Pack
A 9:16 vertical video/story crop.
Applies to the whole campaign
Every successfully generated image gets cropped, not just one — using the upscaled version when one exists. Generations ship in one of two aspect ratios (2:3 editorial, 3:4 product/linesheet), and social placements need square and vertical, so the crop closes that gap without a reshoot. See the Lookbook Generator (/products/lookbook-generator) for how the source images are produced.
How does Social Crops work?
1. Generate your collection
Produce the on-model looks you want to crop, in 2:3 or 3:4.
2. Choose a platform pack
Pick Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok in the export step.
3. Download the crops
Each ratio is center-cropped as a PNG and downloaded individually, one file at a time.
What are the technical specs for Social Crops?
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Platform packs | Instagram 1:1 + 9:16, Facebook 1:1 + 16:9, TikTok 9:16 |
| Center crop only | Plain center crop on every image — not subject-aware, no manual adjustment |
| File format | PNG for every crop, regardless of the source image format |
| One file at a time | A short delay between each file, to stop the browser blocking simultaneous downloads |
| Generated looks only | Every successfully generated image in the campaign — not the raw flat-lay or product photos |
| Upscaled version | The upscaled version whenever one exists; falls back to the original generated image |
How do brands rate Social Crops?
“Running a boutique means we need fresh content for Instagram daily, but booking a model and studio every time new inventory arrives is financially impossible. Alovia completely changed our workflow. I just upload our basic product photos, and within minutes, we have stunning, realistic model shots ready to post. What used to take two weeks of planning and thousands of dollars now takes me 10 minutes over my morning coffee.”

Frequently asked questions about Social Crops
Does it post to my social accounts?
No. Social crops only generates and downloads the image files — there is no scheduling, publishing, captions, or hashtag support.
Does it crop smartly around the model's face or the product?
No. It is a plain center crop applied to every image, not an AI or subject-aware crop, and there is no manual adjustment step.
Which platforms are supported?
Exactly three: Instagram (1:1 feed and 9:16 story), Facebook (1:1 post and 16:9 cover), and TikTok (9:16). There is no Pinterest, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, YouTube, or Snapchat pack.
Does it crop the flat-lay photos I uploaded, or only AI-generated looks?
Only the generated looks — it runs over every successfully generated image in the campaign, not the raw flat-lay or product photos you started from.
If a look has been upscaled, does social crops use the upscaled version or the original?
The upscaled version, whenever one exists for that look. It falls back to the original generated image only if no upscale has been run.
Do all the crops download at once, or one at a time?
One at a time, with a short delay between each file — a deliberate pause to stop the browser from blocking a burst of simultaneous downloads, not a processing limitation.
What file format are the downloaded crop files?
PNG for every crop, regardless of the format the source image was generated or exported in.
What happens if cropping fails for one image in the batch?
That single file falls back to downloading the original, uncropped image (named with an '-original' suffix) instead of stopping the whole batch — the rest of the crops continue normally.
