Resize image for Reddit
Reddit supports a range of image sizes. This guide covers recommended dimensions for posts and link previews, and how to resize and compress your images for fast loading and good quality.
Recommended image sizes for Reddit
- In-feed image post: 1080×1080 to 1920×1080 — flexible aspect
- Link preview (OG image): 1200×628 px — 1.91:1
- Banner / header: 1920×256 px or 1920×384 — subreddit style
Why size matters
Reddit allows images up to 20 MB, but very large files slow down loading. Resizing to a sensible resolution (e.g. 1080px or 1920px on the longest side) and compressing keeps quality good while improving speed. Our free resize image and compress image tools run in your browser so your photos never leave your device.

Tips
For link posts, use 1200×628 so the preview looks good on desktop and mobile. For image posts, 1080px on the longest side is usually enough. Use JPG for photos to keep file size down.
