Getting a Sharp Result
Thumbnails are shown small, so use a close-up, big text and strong contrast. Keep the file under 2 MB so it uploads from a phone too: pick 2 MB under File Size. A phone photo held upright is the wrong shape for 16:9: turn it sideways, or choose Fit with a blurred border. Every platform's sizes are in Social media sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What aspect ratio is 1280 × 720?
16:9, the widescreen shape of most screens and video players.
Is 1280 × 720 the same as 720p?
Yes. 720p and HD both mean 1280 × 720 pixels.
What DPI should I use?
300 DPI is the usual print resolution and is what most photo requirements mean when they give a size in centimetres or inches. The DPI value is also saved inside JPG and PNG files.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. It works in modern mobile browsers, and iPhone HEIC photos open directly.
How do I get an exact file size like 20 KB or 50 KB?
Pick the size, or type your own limit. The tool finds the highest quality that fits. If the photo is still too big at the lowest quality, it can reduce the dimensions for you.
