Frequently Asked Questions

What size should a YouTube thumbnail be?

YouTube recommends 1280×720 pixels (16:9). This tool upscales and sharpens your image and exports at that resolution so it stays crisp on every screen.

Is it really free with no watermark?

Yes. It runs in your browser at no cost and adds no watermark to your thumbnail. Your image is never uploaded.

Can I use it for other platforms?

Yes — the sharpened 1280×720 output works well for blog headers and social previews too. For exact platform sizes, pair it with the Image Resizer.
