1024 x 576 Resizer
1024 x 576 pixels gives you a compact 16:9 image at a smaller file size than full HD — a good fit for blog post headers, article preview thumbnails, and other previews where load speed matters more than maximum sharpness. YouTube's own guidance now recommends 3840 x 2160 (4K) thumbnails, with 1280 x 720 remaining a widely used, still-accepted baseline — 1024 x 576 falls short of both, so use our YouTube Thumbnail Size tool instead if you're uploading to YouTube specifically.
