# YouTube Image Resizer Documentation

Resizo's YouTube Image Resizer exports one source image into all 35 YouTube-ready sizes in one ZIP, with category filters, focal-point cropping, cover/contain modes, live previews, and JPG, PNG, or WebP output.

Use these dimensions when preparing thumbnails, channel branding, Shorts, community images, ads, live graphics, and learning content for YouTube in 2026. The tool applies the same preset list and processes every export locally in the browser.

## Notes

- Use cover mode for thumbnails, Shorts, ads, and placements that must fill the exact canvas.
- Use contain mode when the full source image must remain visible with letterboxing.
- Keep faces, logos, and titles inside the focal point for thumbnails, banners, Shorts, and live graphics.
- For channel banners, keep important artwork inside the central 1546 x 423 px safe zone.
- The live preview strip includes individual download buttons for one-off exports.
