Resize YouTube Thumbnails. Free YouTube Thumbnail Resizer

The recommended YouTube thumbnail size is 1280×720 pixels with a minimum width of 640 pixels. Our resizer automatically converts your images to these optimal dimensions.

Our thumbnail resizer supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF formats. For the best quality, we recommend using PNG format.

Our resizer uses advanced algorithms to maintain image quality while adjusting to the correct dimensions. However, for best results, start with a high-resolution image that has a similar aspect ratio to 16:9.

If your original image has a different aspect ratio than 16:9, our resizer will crop the image from the center to fit the required dimensions while preserving the most important part of your image.

While our resizer can handle large images, YouTube requires thumbnails to be under 2MB in size. Our tool automatically optimizes your image to meet this requirement.

Currently, our tool processes one image at a time to ensure the highest quality results. For bulk processing, you can use our batch processing feature (coming soon).

Yes, YouTube does automatically resize thumbnails that don't match their recommended dimensions. However, this automatic resizing can often compromise image quality and appearance. Using our resizer tool ensures your thumbnails are perfectly optimized before upload, giving you complete control over how they look.
