Recommended size
1200×480
Start from the target frame instead of resizing by eye after the design is already finished.

5:2
The ratio determines how the composition behaves before any platform-specific crop decisions happen.

Pad (fit)
Crop fills the full frame while Pad keeps the whole source visible inside it.

FAQ
Do you upload my images?
No. Processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded.
What size should I use?
Use 1200x480 (5:2).
Which export format should I use?
JPG for photos, PNG for text/logos or transparency, WebP for smaller files (if supported).
Crop vs Pad — what is the difference?
Crop fills the target size (may cut edges). Pad fits the whole image and adds background/space.
How do I protect text and logos?
Keep important content centered and avoid placing critical text at the edges.
Can I batch resize?
Yes. Use the Batch Resizer to apply the same size to many images.
