Resize an Image for Reddit

Community banner, icon and post images, the right Reddit dimensions so your subreddit and posts look sharp.

The quick answer

For Reddit, a community banner is 1920×384px, the community icon is 256×256px, and post images display best up to 1200px wide. Crop the banner to its wide ratio and resize each element to its exact size. Our Crop and Resize tools do it in your browser.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Pick the element

    Community banner 1920×384, icon 256×256, or a post image up to 1200px wide.

  2. 2

    Crop to the ratio

    The banner is very wide: crop to it so key content isn't lost on mobile.

  3. 3

    Resize and compress

    Set the exact pixels in Image Resizer and compress for a fast load.

Reddit tips
  • The banner is much shorter on mobile. Keep important content centred.
  • Post images over 1200px wide are downscaled. Export at ~1200 for the sharpest display.
  • A simple, recognisable icon helps your community stand out in feeds.
