Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about converting Image to Image? Find answers below.

Google recommends 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels tall, with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a file size under 2MB in JPG, GIF, or PNG format.

If you upload a low-resolution image (under 1280x720), YouTube scales it up on desktop 1080p and 4K displays, causing blurriness. Resizing to exactly 1280x720 ensures maximum sharpness.
