YouTube Cover Resizer

Your YouTube cover is the wide image across the top of your channel. Upload it at 2560×1440 and only a thin strip shows on most screens — this page sizes it and helps you frame that strip. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need a smaller file instead? Compress or convert.

How to resize an image

Resizing changes the pixel dimensions of an image — making it fit a specific width, a percentage of the original, or a platform's required size. Smaller dimensions also mean a smaller file, which is why resizing is one of the most effective ways to speed up a page.

Add your images, or drop them in.
Choose By dimensions for an exact width and height, By percentage to scale, or a Preset for common social and screen sizes.
Click Resize, then download each file or grab them all as a ZIP.

▢

Exact or proportional

Set precise pixels with aspect-ratio lock, scale by percentage, or pick a preset. Whatever the target needs.

⚡

Batch, instantly

Resize a whole folder at once to the same dimensions. No upload wait, no queue, no file limit.

🔒

Nothing is uploaded

Your images are resized by your own browser and never sent to a server, so they stay completely private.

Will resizing reduce quality?

Making an image smaller is safe — you are discarding pixels you no longer need, and the result looks clean. Making an image larger than its original is where quality suffers, because the browser has to invent pixels that were never there, which looks soft or blocky.

As a rule: resize down freely, but avoid scaling up much beyond the original dimensions. If you need a smaller file rather than smaller dimensions, use the compressor instead.

Choosing a photo for your channel cover

Most of the photo is hidden. On a phone, viewers see only the middle 1546×423 band — about a sixth of the image. A busy photo turns into an unreadable slice, so choose an image whose interesting part is a horizontal band: a skyline, a desk, a row of products.

Using a photo instead of a design? Drag the frame until the subject sits on the centre line. Then darken or blur the top and bottom in your editor — those parts only appear on TVs.

Changing it for a launch or season. A cover is the cheapest way to announce a series, premiere or sale. Keep a plain base version and add the announcement text inside the centre strip each time.

Planning the text and logo layout? See the channel art guide for every device's visible area.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my YouTube cover cut off?

YouTube shows different parts of the 2560×1440 image on TV, desktop and phone. Only the centre 1546×423 area is visible everywhere, so keep the subject there.

Which size should I resize to for Instagram, YouTube or Facebook?

Check our social media image sizes guide. It gives the exact pixels and aspect ratio for every post, story, cover and profile picture on each platform, with links that open this resizer already set to the most common ones.

What is the difference between resizing and compressing?

Resizing changes the dimensions (the width and height in pixels). Compressing keeps the dimensions but reduces the file size by lowering quality. Resizing down does both at once, which is why it is so effective. For file size alone, use the compressor.

Will the aspect ratio be kept?

In dimensions mode, tick "Keep aspect ratio" and set just the width or height — the other is calculated automatically so the image is not stretched. Untick it to force exact dimensions, which may distort the image.

Can I resize many images at once?

Yes. Drop in as many as you like and they are all resized to the same setting in one go, then you can download them together as a ZIP. There is no limit on how many.

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.

Which format will I get back?

Images keep their original format where the browser supports it (JPG, PNG, WebP). Formats a browser cannot write, like GIF or BMP, come back as PNG. To change format on purpose, use the converter.
