How to Use Our Free Online Twitch Thumbnail Resizer
- Upload your image: Click "Choose PNG, GIF, JPG, or WebP file" and select your thumbnail image. We support PNG, GIF, JPG, and WebP formats.
- Choose output preset: Select "VOD Thumbnail - 1280×720" (minimum required size) or "HD - 1920×1080" (higher quality option).
- Choose output format: Select JPG (recommended for smaller file size) or PNG (for crisp text and graphics).
- Select fit method: Choose "Fill (Crop)" for best-looking results with drag reposition and zoom controls, or "Fit (Pad)" to fit the whole image with padding.
- Adjust crop (if using fill mode): Drag the image to reposition and use the zoom slider to adjust the crop area. Use "Reset Crop" to start over. Enable "Show Title-Safe Area" to keep important text away from edges.
- Set quality (if using JPG): Adjust the quality slider (60-95%) to balance file size and image quality. Lower values create smaller files, higher values preserve more detail.
