How to use it
- Drop an image, or a clip to grab a frame from.
- Pick a size. Slide the position if the crop cuts off the wrong part.
- Save it. JPG quality drops by itself to stay under the platform limit.

Steam sizes are from Steamworks documentation. YouTube and Twitch publish less, so those come from their help pages and what people report working. We couldn't find a published size for CurseForge project logos. Its modpack rules ask for 400 x 400, so that's what we use. Checked 7 Nov 2026.
Questions
What size is a YouTube thumbnail?
1280 x 720 still works everywhere and stays under the 2 MB phone limit. YouTube now takes 4K thumbnails up to 50 MB from a computer.
Why JPG and not PNG?
Game screenshots are huge as PNG and usually miss the limit. JPG at high quality looks the same. Pick PNG when you need transparency, like a Steam library logo.
Can I do every Steam size at once?
Yes, with Pro: tick as many sizes as you want and download a zip. Free does one at a time.
