I would love to see a resize feature which will meet Bugguide.net’s 3k pixels on a side.

Personally I’d say it would be amazing to have checkboxes for the platforms we want to upload to. And besides that a dropdown for the ratio we want. In the background the recommended size and perhaps even the compression is being applied to the export, giving the files separate names with the target platform.
A super sophisticated high(est)-end tool would even make suggestions on where to put the watermark/text regarding the safe areas for stories, posts, etc..
That is probably way overkill, and a lot of work to keep it up to date, but I thought I’ll give you some food for thought 😄 .

Great suggestion, @George Pollock , and someone on FB made a similar request yesterday. I think there could be two layers to this, Shape and Size.
1) Shape: In the Crop screen, set the shape of the crop tool to match the ultimate destination. E.g. I do this manually today, I always start with 4:5 for FB/Insta, but sometimes will change to 1:1 or others if it fits the image better.
2) Size: Each platform has its own preferences for how long an image should be on either the long or short edge, as well as file size guidance. Optimizing for this would influence not just its Shape (point #1), but how the file is actually SAVED.
I think the important part here will be creating a simple user interface for doing this. Ideally it would just be one step. I want to think through this carefully. Please share your thoughts and help shape (no pun intended) how this will work!
