About this tool

The YouTube Banner size is 2048 x 1152 pixels, a landscape 16:9 frame. Drop an image on this page and the preset is already applied - there is nothing to type in. YouTube crops this differently on TV, desktop and mobile - keep anything important inside the middle 1546x423 safe area. The only image on this list that is cropped four different ways by the same platform - TV, desktop, tablet and phone each show a different slice of it. The image never leaves your computer - the resize runs in the browser, which also means there is no queue and no file-size cap. If your source is a different shape, the tool shows what will be cropped rather than silently squashing it. A 16:9 target always loses something from another ratio - seeing where is the difference between a usable result and a cut-off head.

How to use this tool

  1. Drop your image inAny JPG, PNG or WebP. Nothing is uploaded - your browser reads the file directly.
  2. It resizes to 2048 x 1152 pixelsThe YouTube Banner preset is already selected on this page, so there is nothing to type in.
  3. Check the preview and downloadThe preview shows the exact crop. Reposition if you need to, then save as JPG, PNG or WebP.

Key features

  • Live preview, so you see the crop before downloading instead of after.
  • Runs in your browser - no upload, no account, no watermark.
  • Resizes to exactly 2048 x 1152 pixels, the current YouTube Banner size.
  • No limit on how many images you resize.
  • Export as JPG, PNG or WebP, whichever the platform prefers.

Common uses

  • Preparing a batch at 2048 x 1152 pixels before a scheduled post.
  • Resizing on a phone without installing an editing app.
  • Getting a correctly sized image without opening a full editor for a 30-second job.
  • Fixing an image a platform rejected for being the wrong dimensions.
  • Setting up or refreshing a channel page.

Tips for better results

  • Save as JPG rather than PNG at this size. A PNG photograph here can be several times larger for no visible gain.
  • Crop to 16:9 before resizing when the subject matters - then you choose what is lost rather than the tool.
  • The only image on this list that is cropped four different ways by the same platform - TV, desktop, tablet and phone each show a different slice of it.
  • Check the result on the platform itself - feed thumbnails are often cropped again from the size you upload.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming another platform at the same pixel size behaves identically. The only image on this list that is cropped four different ways by the same platform - TV, desktop, tablet and phone each show a different slice of it.
  • Letting the image stretch instead of keeping the ratio. A squashed face is more obvious than a tight crop.
  • Re-saving the same JPG over and over. Each save loses a little more detail, permanently.
  • Putting important detail near the edges of a 16:9 frame. Platforms crop again for thumbnails and previews.
