YouTube Community Post Image Resizer
Prepare a YouTube Community post image on a 1080x1080 square working canvas. YouTube suggests a 1:1 ratio because that is how images appear in the feed, but it does not require exactly 1080 pixels.

YouTube Community post image size: 1:1 square suggested; 1080x1080 px working canvas; up to 16 MB
YouTube suggests a 1:1 ratio for feed display and accepts JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP. It does not publish one required pixel dimension, so 1080x1080 is a practical square canvas rather than a platform requirement.

- YouTube Help - Create a post - YouTube suggests a 1:1 ratio for image posts, accepts up to ten images, supports JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP, and caps each upload at 16 MB.
Design for the square feed preview
YouTube suggests 1:1 because the feed shows image posts as squares. A centered subject and short, large text survive the compact preview better than details placed at the edges.
Keep the full image useful when expanded
Viewers can open the image to see the full version. Check both jobs: an immediate square feed preview and a clear full-size image after expansion.
