Resize Image to 600×240

600 pixels is the traditional width of an email newsletter, and 600×240 is a comfortable 5:2 header that sits above the fold without pushing your content too far down. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need a smaller file instead? Compress or convert.

Why choose 600×240?

600×240 is a landscape image of 144,000 pixels (0.14 megapixels) in a 2.5:1 shape, mostly used for headers, banners and web-ad slots.

▢

2.5:1 landscape shape

The 2.5:1 proportion decides how your photo is framed: plan the subject around that shape before you crop.

🎯

Where it is used

600×240 suits headers, banners and web-ad slots. Using the exact size avoids a website scaling or cropping your image on its own.

🖨

Prints 2×0.8 in at 300 DPI

That is 5.1×2 cm at photo quality, or 4×1.6 in at 150 DPI for posters viewed from a distance.

💾

About 22 KB–45 KB as JPG

A typical photo at 600×240 saves to roughly 22 KB–45 KB at good JPG quality; WebP is usually 25–35% smaller.

Sharp results

A 12 MP phone photo has 85× more pixels than 600×240, so resizing down keeps it sharp.

Framing control

Filling 600×240 from a 4:3 phone photo trims about 47% of it. Drag the preview to choose what stays, or tick “Keep aspect ratio” to keep it all.

Building a newsletter header at 600×240

Why 600 wide. Email templates have stuck close to 600 pixels for years because it fits preview panes and phone screens without horizontal scrolling. A header image that matches the template width avoids unexpected scaling in the many email clients that ignore responsive CSS.

Why 240 tall. A 5:2 header is noticeable without eating the whole preview. Readers see your brand and the start of the first story at once.

Text in images is risky. Many email clients block images by default. Keep the key message in live text below the header, and give the image meaningful alt text in your email tool.

Retina version. On high-DPI screens a 600-pixel image looks soft. Many senders export at 1200×480 and set the width to 600 in the template. Use exact 600×240 if your platform does not let you set the display width.

Keep it light. Aim for well under 100 KB. JPG for photo headers, PNG for flat logos; compress afterwards. Crop the source to 5:2 first with the cropper.

Wider banners: 1500×500. Smaller logo strips: 400×150.

Frequently asked questions

What size should an email header image be?

Most templates are about 600 pixels wide, so a header of 600 pixels wide is standard; the height is up to you, and 200–250 pixels keeps it from pushing content down. For sharpness on high-DPI screens, export at double size and set the display width to 600.

What aspect ratio is 600×240?

600×240 has a 2.5:1 aspect ratio. Images with a different shape have to be cropped or padded to fit it.

How big will a 600×240 image print?

At 300 DPI (photo quality) 600×240 prints at 2×0.8 inches (5.1×2 cm). At 150 DPI it covers 4×1.6 inches, fine for posters seen from further away.

How large is a 600×240 file?

A photo at 600×240 is usually 22 KB–45 KB as a JPG, and about 16 KB–31 KB as WebP. If you need it smaller, run it through the compressor afterwards.

Will my photo lose quality at 600×240?

No — a normal phone photo is much larger, so it is scaled down and stays sharp.

Can I resize to 600×240 without cropping?

Yes. Tick “Keep aspect ratio”: the whole picture is kept, but one side may come out shorter than 600×240. Without it, the image fills 600×240 exactly and the edges that do not fit the 2.5:1 shape are trimmed.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
