A thumbnail can look correct on your computer and still feel too small, too large, or incorrectly framed when it is uploaded. This YouTube Thumbnail Resizer gives you a simple way to prepare an image before publishing, sharing, or saving it for a project.
Upload your image
Choose a thumbnail from your device. The image is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to a server.
Choose dimensions
Select the recommended 1280 × 720 YouTube size, Full HD, a smaller preset, or enter your own custom dimensions.
Download the result
Pick JPG, PNG, or WebP and download the resized thumbnail when the live preview looks right.

Resize thumbnails privately in your browser
TreeDownloader uses the browser Canvas API to create the resized image on your device. No login is needed, and the selected image is not sent to a remote image-processing service. As with any image tool, make sure you have the right to use the thumbnail before publishing or redistributing it.
