Questions
Thumbnail resizer questions
What size is a YouTube thumbnail?
1280 × 720 pixels, a 16:9 shape, under 2 MB. This tool makes exactly that.
Is my picture uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser and nothing is sent to us.
Should I crop or fit?
Crop to fill uses the whole frame and works for most pictures. Fit inside keeps all of the picture and adds a background.
Why JPG?
JPG keeps photos small and sharp, so the thumbnail stays under YouTube's 2 MB limit.
How do I check it before posting?
Use our free thumbnail preview to see it in a feed, in search and on a phone.
