Resizing the image instead of cropping

Don't know if there's a better way, but one way is:
In the Export dialog Tools under Format & Size adjust the Quality and/or Scale.I don't know what settings to recommend, so you can either search for some specific info or just trial & error.

Assuming you have the paid/pro "Capture One (for Sony)" version and not the free "Capture One Express (for Sony)" version.
In the export dialogue, there's export recipes including one called "JPEG - Instagram Optimized".

Not sure what you're sorry for. Guessing you posted something very similar to my post? Anyway, no foul in hearing the same advise validated by multiple sources :)

Yes, I just didn't want to leave the impression that I thought your advice wasn't sufficient!
