How to resize an image for YouTube Shorts

To resize an image for YouTube: upload your image above, use the zoom and position sliders to frame it inside the 1080×1920px area, choose Fill (to crop and fill the whole frame) or Fit (to keep the entire image with white padding), and download.

Tips for a great YouTube Shorts

For the best YouTube Shorts: start with a high-resolution image so it stays sharp at 1080×1920px, keep important content (faces, text, logos) in the center safe zone, and export as PNG for crisp edges or JPEG for smaller file size. Vertical 9:16, same as Reels and TikTok. Using the exact 9:16 ratio prevents YouTube from auto-cropping your image in unexpected ways, which is the most common reason posts look wrong after uploading.
