Tips & Best Practices
16:9 Aspect Ratio
Always use 16:9 aspect ratio for Community posts. This matches YouTube's video format and provides a consistent, professional appearance across your channel.
Image Quality
Start with high-quality source images. While YouTube accepts various sizes, 1280×720 provides excellent quality without excessive file size. For thumbnails, use our YouTube Thumbnail Compressor.
Text and Graphics
If adding text overlays, keep important information in the center of the image. Community posts are viewed on various screen sizes, so center-focused content works best.
File Size
Keep file sizes under 2MB for faster loading. If your resized image is still large, consider using our compression tools to optimize further.
Common Mistakes
- Don't use square or vertical images - they won't display well in Community posts
- Avoid images smaller than 1280px width - they'll appear pixelated
- Don't upload images over 5MB - YouTube may reject them
- Always preview your image before posting to ensure text is readable
