How to use YouTube Resizer
1. Select your input
Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image from your device using the file button or supported drop area. The standard file picker accepts browser-readable images up to 25 MB; decoding support depends on the file and browser.
2. Understand the settings
Preset choice sets the target size; Fill/Crop, Fit or Stretch determines how the photo reaches it.
3. Process and review
Choose the canvas, inspect any title and face placement, process and test the downloaded file in the platform preview.
4. Save your result
Use the result’s Download control after processing. Keep your original separately and inspect the exported copy at its intended display size; the preview alone is not the file you will share.
Supported formats
Input: browser-readable images, normally JPG, PNG and WebP, up to 25 MB. Output controls include the shown Keep, JPG, PNG or WebP choices. Keep preserves a supported source encoding choice, not byte-for-byte original data; animation is not preserved.
When to use this tool
Resize a still image for a thumbnail, channel banner or profile placement using the bundled presets. Keep the main subject and text within the useful viewing area.
What to check in the result
A banner appears differently across devices. This is an image tool and does not process or export a YouTube video.
Continue with Add Text to Image when that step fits your workflow.
A practical example
Fit a thumbnail composition and keep essential text away from its outer edges.
Capabilities and limitations
The tool does not generate titles, detect safe areas automatically or guarantee platform acceptance.
Troubleshooting
If the Youtube preview clips a subject, use fit/padding instead of fill/crop. Verify the receiving platform’s current requirements; bundled presets are not a live specification feed.
Processing and privacy
Image pixels are processed on your device. Loading the website and processing assets still uses a network connection, and hosting may receive normal request information. Keep original files backed up.
Questions about YouTube Resizer
Are Youtube presets updated live?
No. These are bundled still-image presets. Check current platform requirements before publishing.
How can I avoid stretching a face?
Use proportional fit or crop/pad choices and inspect the final composition instead of stretching independently.
