Thumbnail resizer

What it does

• Exact 1280 by 720 output, which is the size a thumbnail is asked for.
• Fill trims the edges to cover the frame. Fit keeps every edge and pads the rest.
• Runs on our own server, so your image is not handed on to another service.
• Free to use, with no plan and no credits.

How it works

1. 01 Choose an image.
2. 02 Pick fill or fit.
3. 03 Download it and upload it as your thumbnail.

Questions

What size should a thumbnail be?

1280 by 720, which is a 16 by 9 shape, and under 2 MB. This tool hits the size exactly, and the JPG it produces lands well under the limit.

What is the difference between fill and fit?

Fill scales the image until it covers the whole frame, then trims the overflow, so nothing is padded. Fit scales it until the whole image is inside the frame, then pads the rest with black.

Does resizing cost credits?

No. It runs locally and is free.
