YouTube Community Posts appear in subscribers' feeds alongside text, polls, and video updates. Images that are too small appear pixelated or get cropped awkwardly; images that are too large are unnecessarily heavy and slow to load on mobile.
The recommended minimum for community post images is 1280×720 pixels (16:9 aspect ratio). This matches the standard HD resolution used for YouTube thumbnails, ensuring your image looks sharp on all screen sizes including 4K displays.
If your image is a portrait or square, YouTube will crop or letterbox it automatically. For best results, compose your images in 16:9 before uploading. Use this tool's "Contain" mode to add letterboxing, or "Cover" mode to crop the center to fit 16:9.
What is the best image size for a YouTube Community Post?
1280×720 pixels (HD, 16:9 aspect ratio) is the recommended minimum. For sharper display on high-res screens, you can go up to 1920×1080 — the file size will be larger but the quality will be higher.
How many images can I add to one Community Post?
YouTube allows up to 5 images in a single Community Post. Each image can be up to 1MB. Use batch resize here to process all 5 images at once.
What file format should I use for YouTube images?
JPG for photos (smaller file size), PNG for graphics with text or transparency. YouTube does not accept WebP or AVIF for uploads — convert to JPG or PNG first.
Are my images private?
Yes. Resizing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. No data is sent to any server.
