About YouTube Thumbnail Resizer
A YouTube thumbnail uses 1280×720 pixels. “Fill and crop” fills the frame and trims the edges; choose which side to keep. “Fit on blurred photo” shows the whole picture with a soft blurred copy behind it, a popular look for photos of a different shape. Several photos can be resized at once.
Your files are read in this browser tab and never uploaded. Nothing is stored after you close the page, and there is no size limit beyond your device’s memory.
