YouTube Post Image Size
Community post searches are usually about a simple square graphic. Use 1080 x 1080 when you want a balanced image that can work for channel updates and subscriber-facing posts.

Square composition
A post image should read without a video frame
Community posts often appear near text, polls, and mobile feed UI. The safest square graphics keep their message centered and avoid tiny edge detail.
1:1
Centered subject
Place faces, products, and logos in the middle third instead of relying on corner detail.
Short text blocks
Use fewer words than a full poster so the post remains readable on mobile.
Clean background
Use Fit with a quiet background when the source image is not already square.
Post use cases
When to use the YouTube post resizer
Use this page when the image supports a community update rather than a channel banner or video thumbnail.
Announcements
Share schedule changes, launch notes, episode reminders, or milestones in a square graphic.
Poll support images
Add a clear visual to a poll without forcing a wide thumbnail crop.
Behind-the-scenes posts
Crop photos and screenshots into a consistent channel update format.
FAQ
YouTube post image FAQ
A YouTube post image resizer is different from a YouTube thumbnail converter. The post image supports a community update, so square framing, centered text, and quick browser-local export matter more than video preview ratios.
This page targets searches such as YouTube community post image resizer, YouTube post image size, resize image for YouTube post, and 1080x1080 YouTube post. The copy stays focused on that square post workflow.
Resize Image For keeps the process local. You can test Fit or Fill, preview the 1:1 result, and download a PNG without sending draft community graphics to another image service.
Is a YouTube post image the same as a thumbnail?+-
No. A thumbnail is usually a 16:9 video preview. A community post image works well as a square 1:1 graphic that supports a channel update.
Can I convert a rectangular image to 1080 x 1080?+-
Yes. Upload the source image, keep the Community post preset selected, and choose Fit, Fill, or Stretch depending on how much crop you want.
What file does the tool export?+-
The tool exports PNG files locally in your browser. It does not upload the source image to a server.
Should I add text to the image?+-
Use short, high-contrast text if needed. Long copy belongs in the post body, not inside the image.
