How to Resize to 1280 × 720
- Upload one or more images
- YouTube Thumbnail (1280x720) is already selected, so by default every image comes out at exactly 1280 × 720 pixels — an image with a different shape is stretched to fill it
- To keep an image's proportions instead, tick Maintain aspect ratio: it then fits inside 1280 × 720 without stretching, so one side can come out smaller
- Open Fine-tune to change the output format or quality
- Read the real output size, then download files individually or once as a ZIP
Features
